The República of Nevala is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Erik guerra with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.593 billion Nevalas 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castolc. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nevalan economy, worth a remarkable 1,056 trillion Soldis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 188,860 Soldis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens may cast their vote by mail or phone, space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Nevala, the first step in medical triage is determining the patient's insurance details, and sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nevala's national animal is the Tigre, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cristianismo.

Nevala is ranked 20,292^nd in the world and 646^th in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,571.37 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
