The Queendom of NERV-SEELE is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 194 million NERV-SEELEians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 43.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient NERV-SEELEian economy, worth 7.73 trillion Penyens a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,846 Penyens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The NERV-SEELEian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and the government is giving peace a chance. Crime is totally unknown. NERV-SEELE's national animal is the PenPen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NERV-SEELE is ranked 197,609^th in the world and 559^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -2.45 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
