The Northern Realm of Neptunius is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Council of the Sea with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.863 billion Nedians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlas. The average income tax rate is 87.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Neptuniusian economy, worth 190 trillion Nets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 102,037 Nets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, and proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neptunius's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Neptunius is ranked 32,760^th in the world and 1^st in Erchion for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 866.89 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
