The Republic of Neodun is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 409 million Neodans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 14.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Neodunian economy, worth 25.9 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 63,341 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, Neodun recently decided against having a capital city, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, and bins outnumber trees in city parks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neodun's national animal is the Bear.

Neodun is ranked 228,145^th in the world and 145^th in Byzantion for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 48.52 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
