The Federation of New Gehenna is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Frost Carbon with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 15.644 billion New Gehennans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wertfort. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse New Gehennan economy, worth a remarkable 2,160 trillion Credits a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,115 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise, the nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens, and Frost Carbon is too busy listening to praise to get any work done. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Gehenna's national animal is the Spinosaurus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Gehenna is ranked 8,169^th in the world and 206^th in The East Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 174.53 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
