The Borderlands of Neve Dan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.231 billion Neve Danians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shiloh. The average income tax rate is 54.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Neve Danian economy, worth 135 trillion Denias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 109,860 Denias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, Neve Danian military drills look more like joint-the Pacific exercises than anything else, politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Neve Dan in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neve Dan's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Neve Dan is ranked 285,442^nd in the world and 2,791^st in the Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -6.45 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
