The United Specialists States of Nelestan is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Nele with an iron fist, and remarkable for its fear of technology, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 22.574 billion Neles are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Environment and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neleon. The average income tax rate is 29.0%.

The large but inefficient Nelian economy, worth 698 trillion Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,956 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Nele has just been declared ruler of Nelestan in an international press conference, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, citizens frequently whisper of the Internet as 'the domain of the devil', and Nelestan has designated Neleon as its capital city. Crime is well under control. Nelestan's national animal is the raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Unionism.

Nelestan is ranked 252,393^rd in the world and 2^nd in Wo Got for Highest Poor Incomes, with 14,631.32 Standard Monetary Units.
