The Federal Republic of Nergtul is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Shinji Serizawa with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.177 billion Nergtulians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nergtulian economy, worth 980 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,800 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A positive GPA is all it takes to get an elite education, evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, Nergtul's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region, and all the world's a stage for Nergtulian political theatrics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nergtul's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Shintō.

Nergtul is ranked 22,157^th in the world and 10^th in Japan for Highest Average Incomes, with 158,800.32 Standard Monetary Units.
