The República of Nevala is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Erik guerra with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, flagrant waste-dumping, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.118 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 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nevalan economy, worth a remarkable 1,155 trillion Soldis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 188,849 Soldis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The police double as repo men, young people avoid opening doors for the elderly with impunity, terrorists who are 17th cousins with the ex-wives of half-brothers of citizens are now exempt from the immigration ban, and directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Castolc as a backdrop. 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 66,700^th in the world and 3,922^nd in Lazarus for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 4,883.9 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
