The People's Republic of Nerias is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alehandra Rojas with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 5.613 billion Neriasians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Athens. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Neriasian economy, worth 306 trillion Dollars 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,488 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Golden Eagle, the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, theatre audiences often need a telescope to see the stage, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nerias's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Speakers.

Nerias is ranked 154,855^th in the world and 167^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,940.03 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
