The Empire of Newtdom is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Newt XX with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 45.946 billion Newtdomians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winchester. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Newtdomian economy, worth an astonishing 13,198 trillion Florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 287,254 Florins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,337,872 per year while the poor average 7,717, a ratio of 302 to 1.

The national sporting identity is represented by a talking burger and a singing smartphone, the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, residents of newly dried out bays live in fear of leaky dikes, and houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Newtdom's national animal is the Griffon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Newtdom is ranked 20,273rd in the world and 10th in Gholgoth for Most Cultured, scoring 87 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
