The Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sky Marshal Armstrong with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 6.946 billion Nepleslians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Funky City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Nepleslian economy, worth a remarkable 2,621 trillion Davis Alliances a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 377,408 Davis Alliances, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,663,360 per year while the poor average 18,025, a ratio of 147 to 1.
It's never "just a game" with Nepleslian sports fans, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, the government has completely eliminated all childcare programs, and preservative-laden Nepleslian cheeses will be as edible when archaeologists dig them up next millennium. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Nepleslia's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Nepleslia is ranked 6,159th in the world and 324th in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 16,946.03 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
