The Wondorus Waltz of Neo223 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, avowedly heterosexual populace, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.979 billion Neo223ians 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.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.3%.

The powerhouse Neo223ian economy, worth 433 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,510 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

A little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, and women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo223's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Neo223 is ranked 193,603^rd in the world and 1,875^th in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
