The Allied States of USNE2018 is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Maximus Decimus Meridius with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.704 billion Nebraskans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aksarben. The average income tax rate is 62.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient USNE2018ian economy, worth 219 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,690 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dwindling faithful in the nation make expensive pilgrimages to the remaining places of worship, the government keeps its thumb on the scales of justice, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, and babies are increasingly seen as a luxury. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. USNE2018's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

USNE2018 is ranked 8,341^st in the world and 257^th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 88.25 on the Human Development Index.
