The Republic of Neldessica is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Elden with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 37.335 billion Neldans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vellis. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but sluggish Neldan economy, worth a remarkable 1,668 trillion gold coins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 44,695 gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, and the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neldessica's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Neldessica is ranked 135,550th in the world and 6,196th in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 701.66 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
