The United Socialist States of Nexxus Chroma is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 246 million Nexxus Chromans 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 large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Nexxus Chroman economy, worth 21.2 trillion heptans 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 86,378 heptans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nexxus Chroma's national animal is the bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nexxus Chroma is ranked 33,230^th in the world and 170^th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
