The State of NPE is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 17.892 billion NPEians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Spirituality and Law & Order not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The powerhouse NPEian economy, worth 636 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 35,575 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 241,872 per year while the poor average 1,911, a ratio of 126 to 1.

All tariffs have been abolished, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. NPE's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NPE is ranked 76,046^th in the world and 3^rd in Virginia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,416.51 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
