The República of Nevala is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Erik guerra with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.806 billion Nevalas are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castolc. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nevalan economy, worth 882 trillion Soldis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,631 Soldis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, consumers are free to choose - so long as they choose Eckie-Ecola or Eckie-Cola, and convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nevala's national animal is the Tigre, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cristianismo.

Nevala is ranked 14,137^th in the world and 608^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 340.27 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
