“Justice, Piety, Loyalty”

The Woundours Waltz of Neo338 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, avant-garde cinema, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.036 billion Neo338ians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 51.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Neo338ian economy, worth 372 trillion dollars 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 61,639 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits, nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, misbehaving foxes deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others, and students who refuse to pray are expelled from school. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo338's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Neo338 is ranked 78,636^th in the world and 682^nd in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Most Beautiful Environments, with 597.96 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
