The People's Republic of Nechavia is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 470 million Nebovans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Derna Kova. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nechavian economy, worth 25.5 trillion Pacific Guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 54,183 Pacific Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, rare steaks seem even bluer now, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nechavia's national animal is the Snowfox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nechavia is ranked 249,628th in the world and 5,561st in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 45.7 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
