The Nekanan Kingdom of Missouria is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Makana Serfos with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.031 billion Nekanans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Purrosia. The average income tax rate is 71.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Nekanan economy, worth a remarkable 3,598 trillion Miences 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an amazing 256,502 Miences, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Thieves claim they're simply working for the tax agency, Missouria is sometimes referred to as the global janitor, the nation is losing its mind(s), and nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Missouria's national animal is the Loinel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Missouria is ranked 5,374^th in the world and 28^th in Starlight for Smartest Citizens, with 125.56 quips per hour.
