The Constitutional Monarchy of Nerssepha- is a large, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working population of 178 million Nerssephians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Nerssepha-ian economy, worth 7.11 trillion Nerssalias a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 39,927 Nerssalias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares, behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos, vehicular manslaughter is apparently a victimless crime, and talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Nerssepha-'s national animal is the Cougar, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Nerssepha- is ranked 304,438^th in the world and 1,076^th in Carcassonne for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -6.32 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
