The República of Nevala is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Erik guerra with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.753 billion Nevalas are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castolc. The average income tax rate is 85.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Nevalan economy, worth 870 trillion Soldis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,163 Soldis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The tribal zone has been opened to up to 'economic interest' groups, oxygen is commonly known as 'breathinium', chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, and stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nevala's national animal is the Tigre, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cristianismo.

Nevala is ranked 19,849^th in the world and 882^nd in The North Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 117.54 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
