The Federal District of New Falham is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 46.58 billion Hammers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hammer City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.0%.

The all-consuming Hammer economy, worth a remarkable 3,406 trillion greenbacks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,135 greenbacks, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

President is plotting to coup the Pacific (New Falham has found 1 easter egg), there's no representation without taxation, being dead no longer has any benefits, and the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Falham's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

New Falham is ranked 123,043^rd in the world and 21^st in United States of America for Highest Poor Incomes, with 26,359.57 Standard Monetary Units.
