The Republic of Naleus is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Alex Flakes with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.352 billion Naleusians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Naleus. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Naleusian economy, worth 411 trillion Naleusian dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,579 Naleusian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, money always talks but the taboo subject of death just brings silence, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Naleus's national animal is the Petrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Naleus is ranked 4,990^th in the world and 5^th in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,734.45 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
