The People's Republic of Nechavia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 345 million Nebovans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Derna Kova. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nechavian economy, worth 19.2 trillion Pacific Guilders 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 dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 55,757 Pacific Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, and the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nechavia's national animal is the Snowfox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nechavia is ranked 20,379^th in the world and 838^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 22.56 average smiles per day.
