The Meritocracy of Nephania is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lord Nephilus with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 32.161 billion Nephanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Healthcare, Education, and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velanoire. The average income tax rate is 70.3%.

The Nephanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,951 trillion Nephanian Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 60,681 Nephanian Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government is suspected of mass disappearing dissidents both at home and abroad, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Nephania to be bombproof, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, and grandiose stage parents insist superyachts and private cinemas are children's basic needs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nephania's national animal is the White Tiger and its national religion is Nephilism.

Nephania is ranked 47,206^th in the world and 1^st in Voinis for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,573.44 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
