Nechayev

The Empire of Nechayev is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its fear of technology, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 153 million Nechayevians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.0%.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Nechayevian economy, worth 4.72 trillion swords a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, extremely specialized black market in Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 30,859 swords, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

Arthritic citizens seem underrepresented at royal meet-and-greets, distant and obscure male relatives succeed to the Nechayevian throne, all work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull, and the bayonet is cutting-edge technology. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nechayev's national animal is the ant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nechayev is ranked 327,675th in the world and 76th in Psychotic Dictatorships for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8.41 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
