The Formerly Great Satan of Neo Kervoskia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 35.3 billion Neo Kervoskians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo Kervoskia City. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Neo Kervoskian economy, worth a remarkable 2,025 trillion kersvos a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 57,377 kersvos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military has quashed a recent coup attempt, citizens are deeply regretting challenging the government to be honest about its intentions, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, and a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo Kervoskia's national animal is the oppressor monkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a major religion.

Neo Kervoskia is ranked 155,584^th in the world and 3,081^st in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 62.88 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
