The Most Serene Republic of Nereua is a huge, safe nation, notable for its national health service, frequent executions, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 435 million Nereuans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palamon. The average income tax rate is 36.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Nereuan economy, worth 32.4 trillion drachmas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 74,566 drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

It's best to say "yes" if the arbiter asks "what are you, a moron?", pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, criminal convictions are routinely thrown out because the accused's grandmother didn't get to testify about their good character, and the arms industry is strictly regulated. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nereua's national animal is the octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nereua is ranked 61,488^th in the world and 1,850^th in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 606.3 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
