The Parnassic Va'ad Federation of Nerodanus is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sarah Shel-Hakter with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 26.689 billion Neroians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drakodia. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Neroan economy, worth a remarkable 5,008 trillion Nevkels a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 187,649 Nevkels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Subscribing to the Benevolence Society for Impoverished Leaders is an effective way to dodge the draft, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, the nation's children are known for being even more apathetic and cynical than their parents, and immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nerodanus's national animal is the Eastern Neroian Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Jexukhism.

Nerodanus is ranked 303,581^st in the world and 3^rd in Elvarya for Nicest Citizens, with 0.37 average smiles per day.
