The Federal Republic of Neutricland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.671 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand Industria. The average income tax rate is 85%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neutricland's national animal is the Polar Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Yove.

Neutricland is ranked 6th in The Federal Islands and 12,040th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 59 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
