The Fiefdom of Nekaph is a very large, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 199 million Nekaphians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.3%.

The strong Nekaphian economy, worth 10.4 trillion ryous a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 52,058 ryous, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed. Crime is moderate. Nekaph's national animal is the bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Nekaph is ranked 242,336^th in the world and 1,594^th in Remembrance for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -17.32 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
