The Dictatorial Meritocracy of Neulant is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Protectress with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.374 billion Neulantians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erenia. The average income tax rate is 61.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Neulantian economy, worth 689 trillion Sevants a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,162 Sevants, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, The Protectress's Twitcher account is once again only used for bragging about the government's accomplishments, war criminals are given full state funerals, and The Protectress has killer fashion sense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neulant's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Neulant is ranked 264,707^th in the world and 3,416^th in the West Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 40.94 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
