The Nomadic Peoples of Nekotan is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 884 million Nekotanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nekonia. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Nekotanian economy, worth 34.0 trillion Nekonas 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 38,439 Nekonas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nekotan has designated Nekonia as its capital city, unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, and no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nekotan's national animal is the Neko, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nekotan is ranked 54,506^th in the world and 38^th in Ridgefield for Safest, scoring 101.39 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
