The Best girl of Neo398 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.829 billion Neo398ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 59.0%.

The all-consuming Neo398ian economy, worth 461 trillion baht 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 a large, well-organized black market in Gambling, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. 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 79,219 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, and the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo398's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Neo398 is ranked 104,143^rd in the world and 975^th in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
