The People's Republic of Negarden is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Francis Agneau I with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.95 billion Negardians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Jardin. The average income tax rate is 28.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Negardian economy, worth 322 trillion Terins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 109,477 Terins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, people are bored of easy crossword puzzles, the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, and criminals are thrown to the Tamias to repay their debt to society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Negarden's national animal is the Tamias, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Negarden is ranked 70,901^st in the world and 1,965^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,063.25 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
