The Republic of Nekxor is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 7 million Nekxorians 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 Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Nekxorian economy, worth 64.8 billion marks 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 9,262 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, the nation is designated as a welfare recipient under Skandilundian law, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nekxor's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nekxor is ranked 241,264^th in the world and 10,174^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 100 million Standard Monetary Units.
