The Commonwealth Realm of Neragua is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Dean Smith with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 28.185 billion Neraguans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Defense and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neragua City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Neraguan economy, worth a remarkable 5,407 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 191,844 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,258,274 per year while the poor average 11,453, a ratio of 109 to 1.

Authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, prisoners have been known to host cooking and home décor television shows, and agricultural employees work for peanuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Neragua's national animal is the caracara, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Neragua is ranked 22,713^th in the world and 7^th in South America for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 260.57 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
