The Nomadic Peoples of Nekotan is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 833 million Nekotanians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nekonia. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Nekotanian economy, worth 29.9 trillion Nekonas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 35,912 Nekonas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nekotan has designated Nekonia as its capital city, unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, and no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nekotan's national animal is the Neko, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nekotan is ranked 73,947^th in the world and 43^rd in Ridgefield for Most Beautiful Environments, with 605.86 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
