The State of Neo-Western East Korea is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Beom Dae with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.242 billion Neo-Western East Koreans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Environment isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Bunker-City of Omiskan. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Neo-Western East Korean economy, worth a remarkable 1,919 trillion Cyber Bats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 452,450 Cyber Bats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomats shake hands with their right and hide a poison dagger in their left, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, barges of dissidents are being "reeducated through water therapy" in the South Nuclear Combusting Crocodile Sea, and Neo-Western East Korean farm salmon are known for being both horribly diseased and remarkably acrobatic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo-Western East Korea's national animal is the Nuclear Combusting Crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Neo-Western East Korea is ranked 265,745th in the world and 25th in Esvanovia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 16,740.67 Standard Monetary Units.
