The Republic of Nexus II is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.772 billion Nexians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.3%.

The powerhouse Nexus IIian economy, worth 502 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 74,150 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, the road to capitalism has proved an epic drama of adventure and exploration, referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, and political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nexus II's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a major religion.

Nexus II is ranked 61,002^nd in the world and 3^rd in Galactic Imperium for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,350.23 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
