“My Hope is built.”

The Theocracy of Neptia is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 768 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government is mainly concerned with Public Transport, although Commerce and Defence are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rople. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11%. A robust private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Pizza Delivery.

Gambling is outlawed, convicted murderers are free to walk the streets provided they attend rehabilitation classes, the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, and the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields. Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Neptia's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the fenn.

Neptia is ranked 518th in the region and 15,934th in the world for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides.
