The State of Nelise is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.304 billion Neliseans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Social Policy, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Welfare receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.

The thriving Nelisean economy, worth a remarkable 1,867 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 59,646 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 405,525 per year while the poor average 3,204, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Military funding has been stripped back, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and Nelise has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nelise's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nelise is ranked 60,302^nd in the world and 4^th in Swaziland for Highest Food Quality, scoring 30.65 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
