The Irresistible Bliss of Neoteuthis is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 44.45 billion Neoteuthisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and International Aid. The average income tax rate is 50.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Neoteuthisian economy, worth 913 trillion chopsticks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,560 chopsticks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have been outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neoteuthis's national animal is the warbler.

Neoteuthis is ranked 147,942^nd in the world and 4^th in The North Atlantic for Safest, scoring 60.91 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
