The Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Sky Marshal Armstrong with an even hand, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 6.883 billion Nepleslians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Funky City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Nepleslian economy, worth a remarkable 2,584 trillion Davis Alliances a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 375,500 Davis Alliances, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,661,118 per year while the poor average 17,685, a ratio of 150 to 1.
It is broadly agreed that tramp stamps are criminally undesirable, paranoid museum guards keep a lookout for any animated displays attempting to escape the premises after dark, citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Nepleslia at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Nepleslia's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Nepleslia is ranked 92,799th in the world and 4,939th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
