The Galactic Alliance of Nea Athinae is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by First Councilor Naberye with an even hand, and renowned for its suspicion of poets and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 6.16 billion Oceanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Education, Environment, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valrys. The average income tax rate is 45.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Oceanian economy, worth 247 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,167 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pregnancy tests are under fire from the government for being marketed only to women, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, and matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nea Athinae's national animal is the Merqaal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nea Athinae is ranked 246,787^th in the world and 111^th in Portugal for Highest Average Incomes, with 40,167.64 Standard Monetary Units.
