The Neeka's Darkened Sister of Empress Neva is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, devout population of 11.537 billion Empress Nevans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 72.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Empress Nevan economy, worth a remarkable 1,236 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,138 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Blackacrean security services are wondering why Leader is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Empress Neva City Times is sold out, and the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empress Neva's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Empress Neva is ranked 20,807^th in the world and 1^st in Third Hellenic Republic for Largest Black Market, with 154 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
