The Confederacy of Neulardis is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 12 million Neulardians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Neulardisian economy, worth 454 billion Neulas a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,855 Neulas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Neulardians like vultures, universities spend millions cultivating ivy on their buildings, and the nation's leading climatologists are investigating animal flatulence in efforts to reduce methane emissions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neulardis's national animal is the Draco neulardensis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Neulardis is ranked 110,961^st in the world and 522^nd in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,286.89 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
