Land use
The nature of New Eiffel is fundamentally urban and none of the land is reserved for significant agriculture or other exploitation of natural resources. The city state displays an impressive degree of land economy, born of necessity due to its extremely limited territory. Thus, the urban development (i.e., buildings) is optimised to occupy less than 30% of the total area, while the rest is reserved for open space, including New Eiffel Gardens and a Rugbull Field.
Infrastructure
New Eiffel has only three buildings, an attached house which serves as New Eiffel School and Jimbo's Gym, a privately-owned shed and the government home. A fourth structure, Plitvice Bomb Shelter, is an air-raid shelter that was built in the United Kingdom during World War II. It is now an important building located in modern-day New Eiffel, where it is one of New Eiffel's national monuments. It is registered as a grade 3 building. The government home has multiple rooms, used as living spaces, parliament and ministries, as well as having the Millanian embassy[4] and a cardboard constructed Embassy of Plushunia. As New Eiffel is very small, and has no need for any airports or rail roads, bikes are commonly used. Each bike is required to be registered, which the New Eiffelic government does for free. New Eiffel has five bike roads,[5] and three streets.[6]
Environment
The government has pledged to limit New Eiffel's carbon footprint.
International agreements
- Signed, but not ratified: Sough Convention on Global Climate Change, 2019
Natural history
New Eiffel occasionally sees red foxes entering across the border, and is home to two domesticated cats, as well as occasionally the cat Ralph who is the only animal that has been banned from entering into New Eiffel.

The Natural History Society of New Eiffel claims that New Eiffel has over 7 species of bird, 25 moths, and more than 30 kinds of spider. However, this number has been criticised.
