The Catpeople's Republic of Nekoni is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Grand Premier Alexander László Monti with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.974 billion Nekonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varea. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Nekonese economy, worth a remarkable 1,468 trillion Gens a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,524 Gens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nekoni's national animal is the catperson, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is decided by rolling a d10 every Saturday.

Nekoni is ranked 43,538^th in the world and 29^th in Esportiva for Highest Average Incomes, with 86,524.85 Standard Monetary Units.
