The Republic of NEYSHON1 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.8 billion NEYSHON1ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.4%.

The strong NEYSHON1ian economy, worth 497 trillion ones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 38,871 ones, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.

There are no minimum wage laws, it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is moderate. NEYSHON1's national animal is the one, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NEYSHON1 is ranked 282,686^th in the world and 3^rd in Epic land 2 for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,084.48 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
