The People's Republic of Negarden is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Francis Agneau I with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.025 billion Negardians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Jardin. The average income tax rate is 31.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Negardian economy, worth 322 trillion Terins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 106,650 Terins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, people are bored of easy crossword puzzles, the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, and criminals are thrown to the Tamias to repay their debt to society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Negarden's national animal is the Tamias, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Negarden is ranked 72,497^th in the world and 2,395^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
