The República of Nevala is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Erik guerra with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.717 billion Nevalas are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castolc. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nevalan economy, worth 858 trillion Soldis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,993 Soldis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Drunk drivers are sentenced to death, litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job, shoppers insist that instruction labels exempt their purchases from VAT, and women complaining about lack of opportunity are told to "man up". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nevala's national animal is the Tigre, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cristianismo.

Nevala is ranked 22,587^th in the world and 760^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,541.09 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
