The People's Republic of Nechavia is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 410 million Nebovans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Derna Kova. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nechavian economy, worth 19.7 trillion Pacific Guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 47,966 Pacific Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Money grows on trees, the Nechavian Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely, moonshine has made a resurgence, and victims of limb-mauling industrial accidents are told to keep working with their remaining hand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nechavia's national animal is the Snowfox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nechavia is ranked 285,757^th in the world and 6,141^st in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -14.95 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
