The Queendom of Nevirnum is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 637 million Nevirnumians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nevers. The average income tax rate is 31.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Nevirnumian economy, worth 22.9 trillion denarii a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,006 denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Elected officials often serve for decades in a single term, ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses, the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Nevers. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Nevirnum's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nevirnum is ranked 275,055^th in the world and 561^st in A Taco Paradise for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -56.12 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
