The District of Nei is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Liard with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 42.965 billion Nians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.3%.

The powerhouse Neian economy, worth a remarkable 2,352 trillion aurums a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 54,756 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 372,274 per year while the poor average 2,942, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Gigantic marble churches take up almost half the land area of small villages, the end of autumn is celebrated with a bonfire of designer bags, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, and the only issue that Liard has is that there aren't enough issues (Nei has found 2 easter eggs). Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Nei's national animal is the bovina, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nei is ranked 286,342^nd in the world and 50^th in Dog Lake for Lowest Crime Rates, with 37.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
