The Intelligarchic State of New-Union is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Intellectum with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.512 billion Cognitarians Harmonians 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 medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novus Evolvista. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient New-Unionian economy, worth 974 trillion Intellos 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 215,879 Intellos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The doctor has cold hands, every week is blindness awareness week, prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, and the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New-Union's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Harmonic Evolutionism.

New-Union is ranked 264,412^th in the world and 247^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 11,441.62 Standard Monetary Units.
