The Benevolent Republic of Ner Epiand is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Persephone with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.4 billion Ner Epiandians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kariolopolis. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ner Epiandian economy, worth 183 trillion bitcoins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 131,084 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

A traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum, builders across Ner Epiand are blocked up with orders for new public loos, organ donation is compulsory, and bins outnumber trees in city parks. Crime is totally unknown. Ner Epiand's national animal is the lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ner Epiand is ranked 229,903^rd in the world and 842^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Politically Apathetic Citizens, with 39.58 Whatever.
