The República of Nevala is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Erik guerra with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.651 billion Nevalas 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castolc. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nevalan economy, worth 838 trillion Soldis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,321 Soldis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Erik guerra's new political program is often mockingly called 'Capitalism with a Bigtopian face', no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, and unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nevala's national animal is the Tigre, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cristianismo.

Nevala is ranked 5,345^th in the world and 253^rd in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 114.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
