The Commonwealth of Nefas is a tiny, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10 million Nefasians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The thriving Nefasian economy, worth 766 billion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 76,625 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 546,506 per year while the poor average 3,532, a ratio of 154 to 1.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, judges are all-powerful, and shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nefas's national animal is the orangutan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nefas is ranked 105,963^rd in the world and 1,375^th in the South Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,389.87 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
