The Commonwealth of Neuse is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Governor Alexander Wythe with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.195 billion Neuseans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rodanthe. The average income tax rate is 41.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Neusean economy, worth 77.0 trillion Copets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,087 Copets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, young men in tiny bikinis draw neither comment nor stares on the morning commute, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, and sometimes a whole prison wing will house a single prisoner. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neuse's national animal is the Easten Oriole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sacramentalism.

Neuse is ranked 243,613^th in the world and 97^th in The Hole To Hide In for Most Conservative, scoring 41.3 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
