The Empire of Nea Komnenia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Katerina Ibelinova with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.872 billion Komnenians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valyria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Komnenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,137 trillion Hyperpyrons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 293,880 Hyperpyrons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,161,057 per year while the poor average 50,360, a ratio of 23.1 to 1.

Commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, factory workers offered 20-hour shifts are expected to thank their bosses for the wonderful opportunity, and Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nea Komnenia's national animal is the Titanis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nea Komnenia is ranked 37,231^st in the world and 177^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Drug Use, scoring 102.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
