The Republic of Neeshta is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Corbin LaForest with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 4.569 billion Nështans 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 is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Spirituality and International Aid not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nështahavn. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Neeshtan economy, worth 680 trillion Diamonds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 148,919 Diamonds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Real estate agencies are being replaced by naval recruitment offices, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, Neeshta is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and a rusted hulk in Nështahavn harbour has been voted the worst eyesore in Lazarus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Neeshta's national animal is the Parasaurolophus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is NërLouic Secularism.

Neeshta is ranked 245,990^th in the world and 9,381^st in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.87 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
