The Grey Area of Neo-Pangaea is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 22.512 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Education, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 15%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Information Technology and Gambling.

Citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation's borders, the roads are virtually falling apart, and waste is frequently shipped to other countries. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Neo-Pangaea's national animal is the albino platypus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Secu.

Neo-Pangaea is ranked 4th in Secularia and 32,742nd in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 149 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
