The Colony of Unicorn New England is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Buttercup with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 8.361 billion Unicorn New Englandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rainbow City. The average income tax rate is 37.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Unicorn New Englandian economy, worth 343 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,066 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Buttercup has just been declared ruler of Unicorn New England in an international press conference, Lutheranism has been named as Unicorn New England's national religion, people invite random old men into their homes to play with their kids, and houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unicorn New England's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

Unicorn New England is ranked 139,711^th in the world and 45^th in Shinka for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
