The Soviet Federative Republic of Neocortexia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Premier Evelyn Nikitina with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.081 billion Neocortexians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cortexgrad. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Neocortexian economy, worth 247 trillion Cortexist Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 118,883 Cortexist Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Neocortexia, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neocortexia's national animal is the Neocortexian Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Neocortexia is ranked 292,824th in the world and 7th in The Cortexist International for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 1.07 missed references per hour.
