The Sympathic Syneidocracy of Neonymphonia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Aphroarch Siylvea with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.853 billion Nymphonians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elysia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Nymphonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,878 trillion Pulses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 265,191 Pulses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, rumour has it Aphroarch Siylvea needs a calculator to multiply ten by ten, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Neonymphonia after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is totally unknown. Neonymphonia's national animal is the Sylph, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Sympath.

Neonymphonia is ranked 143,600^th in the world and 28^th in Rosaceae Sanguinare for Largest Black Market, with 160 billion Standard Monetary Units.
