The Nekanan Kingdom of Missouria is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Makana Serfos with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.221 billion Nekanans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Purrosia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Nekanan economy, worth a remarkable 2,591 trillion Miences 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 an amazing 253,594 Miences, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 915,402 per year while the poor average 50,186, a ratio of 18.2 to 1.

Legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving", punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, peer pressure from cooler world leaders directs Nekanan government policy, and a Starlight Tourist Association survey has rated Missouria #1 for number twos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Missouria's national animal is the Loinel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Missouria is ranked 1,579^th in the world and 1^st in Starlight for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 12,965.67 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
