Neprau

The Allied States of Neprau is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Sarah Crespin with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful population of 1.248 billion Neprauans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wolfs Pass. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Neprauan economy, worth 126 trillion Daxnas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,213 Daxnas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, the nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion, and business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neprau's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
