The Hidden Wonderlands of Nahelia is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Paimi Maokumi with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.515 billion Nahelis are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rialio. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Nahelian economy, worth a remarkable 2,571 trillion Paltis 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 amazing 301,980 Paltis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, hay has been added to school cafeteria menus, students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework, and the art of conversation has been rediscovered. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nahelia's national animal is the Lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Palanotano.

Nahelia is ranked 310,868^th in the world and 223^rd in Refugia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -36.2 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
