The Incorporated States of The Neural Zone Armed Fraktion is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Roi Pere Ubu with an even hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 3.55 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 Education, Social Equality, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Annexia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, a vast monorail network carries people all over the country, and the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Neural Zone Armed Fraktion's national animal is the Wild Boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Oscar's yellow tooth.

The Neural Zone Armed Fraktion is ranked 126th in Europe and 13,003rd in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 9 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
