The Nordic Kingdom of New Sauthemptona is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Frederick Sohr with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 3.549 billion Sauthemptonans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kovshani. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sauthemptonan economy, worth 278 trillion Krovashrs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,475 Krovashrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, transgender and agender are on the education agenda, and explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Sauthemptona's national animal is the Cougar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

New Sauthemptona is ranked 234,960^th in the world and 8,162^nd in Balder for Fattest Citizens, with 8.11 Obesity Rate.
