“Victims, arn't we all”

The Freedom Flight of Nevscrow is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.933 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Criminals are executed and their property seized, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nevscrow's national animal is the Crow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Dollar.

Nevscrow is ranked 4th in the region and 53,909th in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector.
