The Confederacy of Nebetia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Brett Highland with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed population of 7.5 billion Nebetians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neregas. The average income tax rate is 17.8%.

The Nebetian economy, worth 373 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 49,781 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails, convicted conmen and fraudsters often leave prison to enter a career in politics, judges are all-powerful, and it is said that a Nebetian woman's work is never done. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nebetia's national animal is the panther.

Nebetia is ranked 53,873^rd in the world and 21^st in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 138.65 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
