The United Consensus of Nexia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Runa Aethirshire with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.781 billion Nexians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nexus. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Nexian economy, worth 204 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,396 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, and victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians. Crime is totally unknown. Nexia's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nexia is ranked 87,510^th in the world and 4,601^st in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 901.27 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
