The Republic of Neurontin is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.821 billion Neurontinians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Neurontinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,277 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,830 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
It is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, and the government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neurontin's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Neurontin is ranked 22,055th in the world and 1,503rd in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
