The Cīvitās of From New World is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Imperator Marcus Ulpius Nerva Traianus with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.635 billion Cīvī enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Roma. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Cīvem economy, worth a remarkable 2,556 trillion Sestertiuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 334,806 Sestertiuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, and the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Cīvem Navy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. From New World's national animal is the toad, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Moha.

From New World is ranked 5,080^th in the world and 107^th in The East Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 18,743.77 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
