The Deadly Nation of New Deathland is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Grim Reaper with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.701 billion New Deathlandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Meathland. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Deathlandian economy, worth 878 trillion Lives a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 154,070 Lives, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, military spending is on the increase, chest pains are considered part of the dining experience in New Deathlandian restaurants, and Grim Reaper's new office has a propensity to catch on fire. Crime is moderate. New Deathland's national animal is the Devil Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Reaperisam.

New Deathland is ranked 67,971st in the world and 10th in The Embassy for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 450.41 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
