The State of Nedd is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 21.512 billion Neddians 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 minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The thriving Neddian economy, worth a remarkable 1,090 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 50,700 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 158,128 per year while the poor average 12,485, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

An epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, the army's trophy cabinets have gone all-organic, and the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nedd's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nedd is ranked 191,515^th in the world and 327^th in 0000 for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
