The Commie Republic of The Free City of Nelson is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Eduardo Delgado with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.891 billion Nelsonians 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 Administration, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nelson City. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nelsonian economy, worth 382 trillion Escudoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 98,354 Escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint. Crime is totally unknown. The Free City of Nelson's national animal is the Nelsonian Ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Free City of Nelson is ranked 78,399th in the world and 191st in Conch Kingdom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
