The People's Republic of Nechavia is a huge, genial nation, notable for its vat-grown people, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 487 million Nebovans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Derna Kova. The average income tax rate is 77.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nechavian economy, worth 26.5 trillion Pacific Guilders 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 54,408 Pacific Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nechavia's national animal is the Snowfox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nechavia is ranked 48,310^th in the world and 1,524^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 152.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
