The Irradiated Wasteland of The New California Republic is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Kimball with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 27.533 billion New California Republicans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shady Sands. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New California Republican economy, worth an astonishing 10,045 trillion NCR Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 364,840 NCR Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", group hugs break out during floor votes, the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, and the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth. Crime is totally unknown. The New California Republic's national animal is the Brahmin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

The New California Republic is ranked 19,172^nd in the world and 836^th in Lazarus for Nudest, with 220.5 cheeks per square mile.
