The Colony of Ne Hcea is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.271 billion Ne Hceans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Ne Hcean economy, worth 122 trillion Hyns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 14,836 Hyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legislators must raise their hands if they want to speak, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ne Hcea's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ne Hcea is ranked 214,336^th in the world and 62^nd in Shinka for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 796.4 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
