The Queendom of NERV-SEELE is a huge, safe nation, notable for its national health service, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 264 million NERV-SEELEians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient NERV-SEELEian economy, worth 11.6 trillion Penyens a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,028 Penyens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving", and new homeowners go furniture hunting with crowbars. Crime is totally unknown. NERV-SEELE's national animal is the PenPen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NERV-SEELE is ranked 106,488^th in the world and 860^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 82.75 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
