The National Meritocratic State of New Fildea is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Michael Hartz with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.257 billion Neofildeans 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newbein. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Neofildean economy, worth 196 trillion mances a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 156,514 mances, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, skateparks can be found in every city, discarded pennies litter the streets, and funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Fildea's national animal is the Blonde Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianism.

New Fildea is ranked 10,696^th in the world and 40^th in Fifth Empire for Most Developed, scoring 90.21 on the Human Development Index.
