The Federation of Nea Europa is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Daniel Winston with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 21.34 billion Neuropeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novaria. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Neuropean economy, worth a remarkable 5,611 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 262,939 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public buses smell like litter boxes, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nea Europa's national animal is the grey heron, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nea Europa is ranked 400^th in the world and 11^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 99.3 on the Human Development Index.
