The Community of New Cross SE14 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Cockney Pearly King with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.828 billion Hatcham descendants are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Five Bells. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Newcrossed economy, worth 387 trillion chips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,760 chips, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's hospitals are criticized for caring more about profits than patients, citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason, refugees from other nations are flocking to New Cross SE14's border, and the sudden proliferation of nuclear weapons is very queer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Cross SE14's national animal is the black fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is All Saints Church.

New Cross SE14 is ranked 96,147^th in the world and 28^th in Lewisham Library for Most Corrupt Governments, with 14.3 kickbacks per hour.
