Nevertopia is part of The East Pacific and has a form of government known as a federal parliamentary democracy. It is bordered on the east by the Osiris Ocean, on the south by the South Pacific ocean, on the north by Maxtopia, and on the west by the Bigtopia.The beloved national animal of Nevertopia is the Almiraj. The developed country of Nevertopia is classified as a mixed economy, with a high national GDP of 67.8 trillion maroes. The per capita GDP of 87,675 maroes ranks highly in the world, and is in the 10% highest in The Eastern Pacific. The high-income economy is fuelled by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture, as a free market economy that allows business to thrive. Nevertopia ranks highly in civil rights, political freedom, and economic strength.

Renown for its wild dinosaurs, folklore beasts and stunning environmental beauty, The Commonwealth of Nevertopia is considered a middle power within the east pacific and has taken on a peacekeeping and humanities role within the east pacific theatre and on behalf of the World Assembly. The nation mainly focused on building trade agreements, genial geopolitical partnerships and establishing prosocial stances on world-wide policies or events. These progressive methods and a reputation around the world for having high integrity within it government has positioned Nevertopia within the hearts and minds of everyday people in many nations lending them a subtle yet felt influence on the world stage.

Indigenous peoples have continuously inhabited what is now Nevertopia for thousands of years. Beginning in the 20th century, old Earth Canadian expeditions explored and later settled along the Sword coast. As a consequence of various armed conflicts, what was then Pre-Maxtopia ceded nearly all of its colonies in the south-east continent in 12080. In 12087, with the union of three Elvish colonies through Confederation, Nevertopia was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the Autumnbirch Grove. This widening autonomy was highlighted by the Statute of Deepwater 12131 and culminated in the Nevertopia Act 12182, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the Parliament of Trees.

Nevertopia is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy in the Westminster tradition. The country's head of government is the prime director—who holds office by virtue of their ability to command the confidence of the elected House of Commons—and is appointed by the governor general, representing the Archdruid, who serves as head of Grove. The country is a Commonwealth realm and is officially bilingual at the federal level. It ranks among the highest in international measurements of government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, economic freedom, and education. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many other countries and realms. Nevertopia's long and complex relationship with old Earth history has had a significant impact on its economy and culture.

A highly developed country, Nevertopia has the 24th highest nominal per-capita income globally and the sixteenth-highest ranking in the Human Development Index. Its advanced economy is the eighth-largest in the world, relying chiefly upon its abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade networks. Nevertopia is part of several major international and intergovernmental institutions or groupings including the World Assembly, The Lords' Alliance, and The Emerald Enclave to name a few.



Etymology


While a variety of theories have been postulated for the etymological origins of Nevertopia, the name is now accepted as coming from the portmanteau of "Neverland" and "Utopia". In 12008, the future first Prime Director Autumnbirch fumbled the words together in an attempt to speak the English words Canadian Linkrefugees used to describe the settled area around the wormhole they entered through.

Canadian refugees later used the word Nevertopia to refer not only to the settlement but to the entire area subject to Archdruid Autumnbirch, mistakenly believing that to be the name Autumnbirch had given his grove; by 12020, Faerun books and maps had begun referring to this small region along The East Pacific as Nevertopia. By this time the Nevecian democratic assembly would constitute itself and officially categorize the nation as a "commonwealth", recognizing "Nevertopia" as its official name.

History

The Resource Wars

In the year 2077 on LinkEarth, the Linksecond cold war had escalated. The Linkfree states of America and Linkconfederate states of America were engaged in small military skirmishes over territory disputes brought on by a plague that wrecked havoc across their combined territory. The LinkEuropean Union had devolved into belligerent nation states fighting for preservation as LinkChina, landlocked by the Hong Kong-led South Asia Coalition, fought LinkRussia for Linkgeopolitical control over the entire continent of LinkAfrica. With the help of LinkAustralia and LinkNew Zealand, LinkCanada had fought off various annexation attempts by China, Russia and the former United States of America and became a Linkland-bridge battleground between the three superpowers on who could gain access to the Canadian Arctic shipping trade routes ultimately leading to the dissolution of the Linkunited nations.

Without an international body to observe and provide Linkforeign aide, the south American countries were soon ravaged by Linkcivil wars as Linkfascist movements and Linkdrug cartels fought for control sending waves of refugees, Linkillicit goods and Linkradicalized militia groups across their Linkborders further destabilizing the Free and Confederate states conflict. Due to the ongoing conflicts on the Americas, the African, European and Canadian war fronts, LinkSaudi Arabia sensed an opportunity to artificially increase Linkprice of oil worldwide to exert more international influence over its now nuclear Linkmiddle-eastern neighbours. The world economy would be plunged into disarray and would never recover. Due to a volatile Linkglobal stock market, and acute Linkglobal petroleum reserves stockpiling, and generations of Linkoverfishing, coupled with Linksevere marine pollution and the full affects of Linkglobal warming causing inprecedented worldwideLinkdroughts and Linksinking of coastal cities, it became self-evident that there was simply not enough exploitable resources left on the planet. This point in history would be known as Link"the resource wars."

Canadian Colonization

In August 27 2094, an approximately 10m diametre stable LinkEinstein-Rosen bridge self-manifested in LinkDauphin, Manitoba where folktale entities and humanoid soldiers equipped with late middle age era armaments advanced out of the wormhole, causing massive casualties in an attempt to annex the local area. This would later be known as the "The Dauphin Incident". Immediately after the attack, the LinkCanadian Armed Forces launched a counter offensive, and repelled the invaders back to the wormhole and reclaimed Dauphin. To establish diplomatic relationships with the world beyond the wormhole and hold accountable the ones responsible for the massacre in Dauphin, the Canadian Forces, under orders by the Prime Minister, are to Linkestablish a military foothold within the other side.

On the other side of the wormhole the Canadian soldiers found a Linkplanet inhabited by Linkneverland creatures such as pixies and dryads. Amongst these people was an elderly Archdruid treant named Autumnbirch who ruled over the land that the wormhole resided in. According to Autumnbirch, due to a great war between a magically advanced nation called LinkNetheril and the Linkgoddess of magic Mystra, breaches within spacetime had started opening up in the continent of Faerun, and various aggressive entities had taken this opportunity to cause as many casualties as a form of ritual sacrifice to the local pantheon's Linkmurder gods. Magic, gods, elves and access to parallel universes had been confirmed as scientific fact and the inhabitants of Earth could potentially build relations in Faerun to ease the worldwide conflicts over resources. The Canadian Forces promptly asked Autumnbirch to attend an emergency summit in Canada to explain their findings to Earth. Autumnbirch agreed.

Archdruid Autumnbirch, circa stardate
27 May 12220.
Once Autumnbirch reached Canada, he answered various questions in front of international delegates about the Linkutopia he came from, its inhabitants and the anomalous form of energy he referred to as "magic". For the first time in half a century mankind had hope, but that hope had been extinguished as quickly as it was lit. Magic did not exist in LinkEarth's universe. Magic as Archdruid Autumnbirch would point out, was an artificial layer of the Linkfabric of reality that was weaved by the Linkgods to prevent their "realms" from dissolving into the LinkFar Realms, a primordial void that caused maximum entropy to adjacent universes. The universe which Earth resided in, he posited, did not have magic since it had no gods protecting it. The revelation caused mass outrage and dissonance within Earth's religious communities.

Pre-Nevecian Era

LinkGlobal conflict and Linkcivil unrest erupted overnight as religious nations lost international recognition and Linktenuous ethnic relations turned violent. The last overtly religious nations of Earth and their armies lead by the confederate states of America invaded Canada to destroy the other world on the other side of the Einsten-Rosen wormhole to reestablish legitimacy and as another attempt by America to annex the area. As a last ditch attempt to save her inhabitants, Canada ordered all its citizens to head to the wormhole and fully mobilized to protect its borders from sea to sea. After 42 hours and only a third of its total population transported to Faerun, military personnel in Faerun detected a Linknuclear detonation before the wormhole promptly evaporated.

Within the coming decades, Humanity and the inhabitants of Abeir-Toril within Archdruid Autumnbirch's grove would come to share their technology, magic and lives together. Humanity and Fey would give birth to Linkhalf-elves in their union, Linkdragonblood would mix with man, their children featured the claws and scales of their ancestors, and humans with Linklaguz parentage would be born with animalistic features and the ability to transform into a powerful animal based on their parental bloodline. Faerun was a primitive, medieval continent and the Canadians brought with them the tenants of civil rights, modern culture and democracy. Two-hundred years later this partnership would culminate in what The East Pacific would come to know today as the commonwealth of Nevertopia.

Geography

Located at the southeast peninsula of the East Pacific, Nevertopia is surrounded by the Pacific and the North Pacific oceans and separated from the West Pacific region by the Lazarus and Osiris seas. By land area including its large proportion of fresh water lakes, it is one of the largest nations in the region. Of Nevertopia's 7 provinces and territories, 5 border an ocean and only 2 are landlocked (LinkPelor and LinkJoestar). Ellesmere also sees most of the East Pacific's shipping traffic through the LinkDragon-vein Seaway which connects more eastern regions to the rest of the East Pacific by naval travel.

Nevertopia is consisted of 3 distinct forest regions covering up 42% of the land acreage available in its borders, made up mostly of spruce, pine and Linknetherwood. It is geologically active, having many earthquakes and potentially active volcanoes, notably Mount LinkGreyskull, LinkMount Moon and LinkMount "Big M.T." Big. Average temperatures vary from region to region with winters being harsh ĭ̶̢͇̮̱̫̊̾͂͒̔͊n̴̹̰̙̠̘͈̋̽̉͘͜͝ ̶̹̦̝̙͈̉̉̏̄̿͠͝s̸̛̗̞̜̯̯̘͆̍̓̍̕o̶̟͍̬̅̊̊͑̽͜ṳ̴̺͂̏͆͊͒͒͝t̴̡̧͙̬̹̬̖̆͆̕h̵̻̮͇̼͍̾̈́́̕͝e̵̜̼͓̭͉̩̦̔r̸̫̞̖̖͕̄̒͊ͅn̷̖̟̄̈́̓͑̍ ̷̫͠p̷͔̅̒͒͆̌͜͠r̷͎̫̥̝̼̪̐o̶̢͙̫̱̭̥͒̍̇͆̎͗͜v̸̻̭̟̻̠͗̿̉͘͝ͅí̴̻̞͚͔́̔͊̚n̵̨̢̝̼͈̳̉̏͆̉̾͠c̵̢͕̖̈e̷̮͛̒͆̓s̶̘̠͕̰̽͊̐̔̓̆̕͜ ̷̳̜̄w̷͔̼̽͒̎͆h̴̛̤͔͉̋͂̇̚̕ĕ̶̫͋͜ŕ̶͍͍͖̥̓̃̎͜ȩ̶̗͓̠̀́́̂͘͘ͅ ̴̹͍̰̈́͝ḑ̵̜̳̙̊̽̓̋ͅa̴̧͖̜͈͆̐͝͝i̵̧̹̪̻̭͌̒̂͛̓̚͝l̷̰̓̆͗y̸̱̠͛̅̑ average temperatures are near -15c but can drop below -40c with severe wind chills.

Government and Political Structure


Link
Parliament Hill, home of the federal government in
Nevertopia's capital city, Yharnam.

Nevertopia is described as a Linkfull democracy, with a tradition of Linkliberalism, and an Linkegalitarian, Linkmoderate political ideology. An emphasis on Linksocial issues has been a distinguishing element of Nevertopia's political culture. LinkPeace, order, and good government, alongside an Linkimplied bill of rights are founding principles of the nation's political structure. Nevertopia has a Linkparliamentary system that is dominated by two major parties and three minor parties. The two major parties are the centrist-left LinkSummer Court and the centrist-right LinkWinter Court. The three minor parties are the LinkSpring Court, the LinkFall Court and the LinkSerenes forest party. Far-right and far-left politics have never been a prominent force in Nevecian politics and are strictly opposed by all parties. The leader of the party with the second-most seats usually becomes the leader of the official opposition party and is part of an adversarial parliamentary system intended to keep the government in check. This alongside multiple parties and Linkinstant-runoff voting keep Linkgerrymandering and political tribalism low.

Nevertopia has a parliamentary government based on the LinkWestminster system and has an elected Linkhouse of commons and an appointed Linksenate. The position of Prime Director is the Linkhead of state and typically belongs to the person most likely to command the confidence of the House of Commons; this individual is typically the leader of the political party or coalition of parties that holds the largest number of seats in the Commons. Seats in the House of Commons are distributed roughly in proportion to the population of each Linkprovince and Linkterritory. However, some ridings are more populous than others, and the Nevecian constitution contains provisions regarding provincial representation. As a result, there is some interprovincial and regional malapportionment relative to the population.

The Prime Director chooses a Linkcabinet and formally swears in his or her choice of candidates. Members of parliament may hold office until Parliament is dissolved and serve for constitutionally limited terms of up to five years after an election. Historically however, terms have ended before their expiry and the sitting government has typically dissolved parliament within four years of an election according to a long-standing convention. In any case, an Act of Parliament now limits each term to four years. The current Prime Director is Aisling Duval, the former Minister of Linksecurity, containment and protection of the previous administration and leader of the Spring Court of Nevertopia.

Contemporary Warfare

Nevertopia is recognized as a Linkmiddle power for its role in international affairs with a tendency to pursue multilateral solutions. Nevertopia's foreign policy based on Linkinternational peacekeeping and security is carried out through coalitions and international organizations, and through the work of numerous federal institutions. This has played a major role in the nation's global image in the last century. The strategy of Nevertopia's foreign aid policy is aimed at eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, provide universal primary education, uphold gender equality and empowering women, reduce child mortality, improve maternal health, combat plagues, environmental sustainability, positive global partnerships and responding to foreign humanitarian crises.

A LinkM18 Volt Plasma rifle, standard issue rifle of the Nevecian army.
It uses a hybrid plasma/bullet round ammo system meant to rip
through conventional and anomalous defensive equipment, though
suffers from a slow fire rate for battle rifles.
The nation employs a professional, volunteer military force of approximately 2,400,000 active personnel and 1,600,000 reserve personnel at any given time. The unified Nevecian Forces comprise of the Nevecian Army, Nevecian Navy, Nevecian Air Force and Nevecian Arcanum. Its yearly military expenditure is around 9% of its yearly GDP and is expected to rise to around 15% within the next 10 years. During the last World Assembly inspection, it has been confirmed that The Unified Nevecian Forces are in possession of approximately 60,000 land vehicles, 800 naval ships, 14,000 aircrafts, at least 20 LinkWMD's(b) which include 6 Orbital Weapons Platforms, 6 Linkpattern screamers, Link2 helvaults and 4 necropotences possessed by the Nevecian Arcanum.

As part of her campaign promise Prime Director Duval has removed all nuclear weapons in Nevertopia's possession, citing them as "overkill" and "redundant" in Nevecian military defense. "Our access to hazard-memetics and Epic Magic is more than enough to nullify a potential conventional nuclear attack" said Prime Director Duval.

Nevertopia's military strength is renowned in the East Pacific due to their access to atypical WMD's such as hazard-memetics, an orbital weapons system and an unknown capacity for Epic Magic colloquially referred to as 12th tier spells. The lists of spells of this caliber available to the Nevecian Arcanum or their various casting restrictions are a closely guarded military secret but in the past Nevertopia has shown its capable of Linkterraforming, Linkweather manipulation and placing the entire nation under an impervious dome energy barrier for 8 hours.

Nevertopia's standard military doctrine are a mix use of "early post-modern" technology and contemporary arcane. They have developed early Linkplasma-based ranged/melee weaponry, kinetic shields, invisibility cloaking, Linkpersonal piloted golems, pan-dimensional Linkspelljammer ships, an experimental weaponized overlord AI(c), modernized spellcraft warfare, and technomancy.

Space-Aged Warfare

In response to extra-terrestrial and interdimensional threats, by the year 12200 the Nevecian government went about building an Orbital defense network to prevent future tragedies like the Linkklendathu invasion of zegema beach. The first ship is the Type-7 Transporter, first commissioned as Nevertopia's multiplanetary space vessel it is capable of multiple planetary landings and takeoffs without the use of conventional rocket boosters thanks to the integration of Dynatherm fusion reactors. Meant for supply runs between the planet and the Nevecian scientific moon colony, that role has since been replaced by teleporter pads and it was originally scheduled for decommission before being repurposed as an emergency response space command centre.

The Nostromo
The 5th generation Northstar-class Golem.
The Type-7 Transporter is a bulky trading vessel roughly twice the size of an old Earth boeing 747 and is an excellent shielded space freighter. It is outfitted with a space age Mithril alloy, a reinforced, hi-cap type 5A Prismatic Shield Generator usually reserved for protecting and containing nuclear power plants, a pair of heavy duty 0A Grade shield boosters to further increase shield strength and dual rapid charging emergency 5A Shield cell banks. Its pitch and yaw speed combined with an acceptable base speed and adequate defences allow it to make a hyperspace jump out of combat or potentially evade interdiction. It is not advisable to jump to Supercruise to avoid an attacker. The Type-7 also possesses a cargo rack filled with recon limpet drones designed to physically hack into enemy satelittes.

In combat, the Type-7, due to its freighter design, is not viable. Its 4 small hardpoints are outclassed by even the 2F Eagle, which are far cheaper, and significantly more manoeuvrable. In practice, the top and bottom hardpoints' poor convergence, combined with the weak Class 4A Power Distributor, and overheating problems further limit damage output and hardpoint options. Overheating can be mitigated somewhat by its A-rated Power Plant and Heatsink Launcher. As a compromise the Type-7 carries 4 oversized, long range 1F turret beam lasers meant primarily for intercepting ICBMs and protecting itself from small ship swarms. Overall the Type-7 is not meant to be in the middle of active combat, serving more behind the front-lines as a command and reconnasaince ship. It handles crew rotation for the Keelbacks' pilots, equipped with crew quarters enough for 35 personnel onboard and Vehicle hangars housing eight 5th generation Northstar-class piloted golems modified for space combat.

Taking on the duty as an ambush anti-tank weapons platform to support infantry, the Northstar piloted golem was chosen for its inherent flight capabilities and sniper-esque Gauss gun main armament in spite of its somewhat fragile frame. Standing in at an approximate height of 6m and dry weight of 12Mgs, the Northstar is set to replace the 4th generation Atlas as the standard piloted golem of the Nevecian armed forces due to the Atlas' dubious effectiveness as a frontline bipedial mobile armor in more contemporary conflicts. As a golem the Northstar retains its ability to operate independently of its pilot and carry out a basic set of orders.

A landed Keelback
The Keelback is a ship designed as a combat-oriented variant of the Type-7 Transporter. At half the size, the Keelback boasts enhanced combat capabilities, a reactive surface composite hull comperable to the Type-7's, increased Armour Hardness, a 4C Bi-Weave shield Generator, and the ability to equip a Fighter Hangar for the Ship-Launched Fighter "Condor". These improvements reduce the ship's internal compartments and maximum cargo capacity, but allow it to better defend itself against attacks. The Keelback also possesses two additional rotating thrusters that tremendously increase its rolling speed, allowing better manoeuvrability in combat.

In combat, the Keelback retains the two Class 1 hardpoints and has two additional Class 2 hardpoints. It uses two experimental class 2 long-range burst fire feedback cascade fixed railguns designed to stress shield generators on impact to cause them to fail before running out of power, and two class 1 size long-range super penetrator fixed Railguns meant to pierce through anything from underground military bunkers to other space vessels. With the combined firepower of its hardpoints and the Condor Ship-Launched Fighter, the Keelback can easily perform its roles as an anti-satellite or orbital bombardment.

The two Class 2 hardpoints are located on top of the ship serving as its burst fire railgun mounts, very close to the cockpit, and two Class 1 hardpoints are located on the bottom of the ship and further back for its super penetrators. One of three utility mounts is located on the nose of the ship directly above the frontal landing gear piece, and two more on top and at the back. The ship also has unique rotating engine pods on either side to help stabilize it during rotation and positioning of the railguns towards terrestrial targets.

The F63 Condor, carried within a Keelback.
The F63 Condor is a Ship-Launched Fighter designed as a general-purpose fighter for independent navies, the Condor has also been widely adopted by the Nevecian defense force as a cheaper alternative to the 2F Eagle. It has a relatively balanced shields, hull strength and manoeuvrability compared to its counterparts, but boasts the fastest linear speed boost, allowing it to quickly intercept incoming hostile targets and engage targets on their own terms. The Condor thus fills a niche among Ship-Launched Fighters as a strike craft that can move in, hit hard, and then outrun any pursuers.

As an SLF, the Condor does not possess a Frame Shift Drive, and thus cannot jump to Supercruise or Hyperspace. Its operational area is limited to the vicinity of its deployment point, such as a station, outpost, carrier, or ship-mounted Fighter Hangar. The Nevecian Armed Forces use the Rogue F variant of the Condor, with its two conventional multi-cannons and chaff launcher to try and better survive heavy fighters like the 2F Eagle.
The Type-7 Transporter has been named Link"The Nostromo", Keelback-1 is named Link"Serenity", Keelback-2 is named Link"Destiny", Keelback-3 is named Link"Yamato", Keelback-4 is named Link"Ishimura", and Keelback-5 is named Link"Hyperion". The six ships are positioned in orbit as a single fleet, with the 5 Keelbacks and their fighters serving as escorts for the Nostromo.

Economy

A voltron crystal.

Nevertopia runs on a LinkRhine capitalist model and is within the 80% strongest economies in the world with a nominal GDP of 67.8 trillion maroes a year as of LinkStardate 12220-JUNE-20. As per 12220 Q3 census, it is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,532 maroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens. Nevertopia is in the top 5% least corrupt nations in the world and is one of the world's top 50% trading nations with a highly globalized economy. The Black market makes up less than 1% of the nation's economy. It is mostly involved in the illegal trade of copyrighted media, personal information and counterfeit aircraft and automobile parts. The black market has never had a strong foothold in Nevecian society in no small part to progressive policies regarding red district goods and services.

Nevertopia is one of the few developed nations that are net exporters of energy and is rich with exotic power sources such as Linkdyna-therm "voltron" crystals and Linkargent energy. This coupled with investments in nuclear and renewable energies means the nation is least dependent on energy imports while being able to export its own in the market. Among its other exotic resources include the super-metals Linkmithril, Linkorichalcum and Linkadamantite. Mithril when alloyed possess two times the Linkstrength-to-weight ratio of LinkTitanium. Orichalcum alloys are known for their similar properties to Linkbrass yet having a markedly higher resistance to Linkstress corrosion cracking and Linkmelting point. Adamantite registers at 10 on Link the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, sharing other properties with Linktungsten, and often used in the construction of nuclear and argent reactors. The three super-metals are highly sought after by nations that are interested in developing their space programs, electronics and armaments among other things.

A focus on scientific advancement by the government has lead the nation to be within the top 25% most scientifically advanced in the East Pacific with ongoing research on the sciences and further understanding of magic producing modern marvels such as artificial01001000 01101111 01110111 00100000 01100011 01100001 01101110 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01100011 01101000 01100001 01101100 01101100 01100101 01101110 01100111 01100101 00100000 01100001 00100000 01110000 01100101 01110010 01100110 01100101 01100011 01110100 00100000 01101001 01101101 01101101 01101111 01110010 01110100 01100001 01101100 00100000 01101101 01100001 01100011 01101000 01101001 01101110 01100101 00111111 intelligence, Linkmutagenesis, reality anchors, the afterlives studies and inter-dimensional travel. Several major technological firms in the East Pacific have built their headquarters in Nevertopia in hopes of developing the private space travel sector. Nevertopia's space program has not been made available to the public. Business subsidization is relatively common in most sectors, especially in agriculture and manufacturing industries. The Nevecian government provides huge subsidies to farmers and companies in the wheat, rice and beef industries, as the sectors continue to decline due to the rise of the service sector. The nation has one of the most regulated markets in the world, with tariffs or embargoes being imposed on nations as part of international efforts to combat human rights violations, Citizens are very much allowed to pursue whichever career they wish to, set up business etc. Also, the government has been known to provide bailouts to companies during recessions.

Communications



Nevertopia has one of the best-developed infrastructures in the East Pacific. It meets the requirements for high-tech business and international trade. The telephone system is state-of-the-art and supported by a satellite system and 300 relay stones.

Nevertopia's internet is divided into 3 sections and are divided into kid-friendly, universal and adult to help the populace regulate personal online consumption. Websites as part of registering a domain must classify as one of the three. Providers can reclassify at a later time and cannot change classification for a minimum of 1 month. Kid-friendly domains are aimed towards children and are heavily regulated to ensure safety. Universal domains makes up the majority of the internet and is what one would typically expect when browsing online. Lastly the adult domains are host to adult entertainment such as adult sexual videos and gambling. Those violating their domain guidelines are fined per infraction and may lead to incarceration.

Critics argue that the Nevecian Cyber-Border impedes international online dialogue and that it holds Nevertopia down economically by prohibiting firms the use of certain services that they use.

If like-minded countries are successful in imposing the same restrictions on their inhabitants and globalized online traffic, then the Linkfree global exchange of information could cease to be. The government addressing these concerns is ongoing.

Nevertopia is a Linkbilingual nation, the most widespread of the two being "Common", a magical language that possesses the unique Linkmemetic property of allowing any sentient creature across all realms to speak and understand it from birth or on initial exposure. The other official language is "Sylvan", a language typically spoken by those with origins from the Feywilds such as treants, and laguzes. It possesses the same memetic property as Common for Feywild creatures but unlike Common, Sylvan is not universally translated. It can still be learned like any other language. Other minor languages typically spoken by the Nevecian people are Elvish, Draconic, Giant, and the Far realm language called "LinkEnglish". English possesses the unique property of being the complete opposite of Common where no sentient creature can speak or understand it at birth or initial exposure, it can only be taught, further distinguishing its alien origin.

Nevecian society is known for its Linkequal marriage laws, Linkuniversal healthcare, Linkcompulsory organ harvesting for those of adult age and parental licensing. The ability to have multiple consenting spouses is available for all citizens. LinkCannabis and Linkshrooms may be legally purchased and private industry is permitted within a market-based economy. Its people's demographic is composed of half-elves and hu�mans01010111 01101000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01100001 00100000 01101101 01100001 01101110 00111111 00100000 01000001 00100000 01101101 01101001 01110011 01100101 01110010 01100001 01100010 01101100 01100101 00100000 01110000 01101001 01101100 01100101 00100000 01101111 01100110 00100000 01110011 01100101 01100011 01110010 01100101 01110100 01110011 00100001 as the majority, followed by a mixture of Linkgoliaths, dragonborns, satyrs, pixies, dryads, nymphs, treants and laguzes. Nevertopia's culture draws influences from its broad range of constituent races, and policies that promote a "just society" are constitutionally protected. Nevertopia has placed emphasis on equality and inclusiveness for all its people. LinkMulticulturalism is often cited as one of Nevertopia's significant accomplishments, and a key distinguishing element of Nevecian identity. As a whole, Nevertopia is, in theory, a cultural mosaic—a collection of regional ethnic subcultures. Nevecians are amongst some of the most agreeable and cheerful citizenry in the world, ranking within the top 5% happiest, nicest, most compationate and most inclusive nations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.

Nevertopia is religiously diverse, encompassing a wide range of beliefs and customs. Nevertopia has no official church, and the government is officially committed to Linkreligious pluralism. LinkFreedom of religion in Nevertopia is a constitutionally protected right, allowing individuals to assemble and worship with few limitation or interference. The practice of religion is now generally considered a private matter throughout society and the state. With Mekhanism and Ortothanism in decline, Nevertopia has become a post-religious, Linksecular state. The majority of Nevecians consider religion to be unimportant in their daily lives, but still welcome the influence of the benign gods of the pantheon.
