The Kingdom of Neru is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High King Alexandre with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 21.803 billion Neruviae are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ourem. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Neruvian economy, worth a remarkable 3,527 trillion Reais a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,786 Reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government violently suppresses separatist movements, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Ourem Times is sold out, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, and religious education is a new government priority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neru's national animal is the Neruvian Island Hound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Neru.

Neru is ranked 228,035th in the world and 3,154th in the Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
