The Principality of Neandr is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 6.645 billion Neandres love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 41.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Neandr economy, worth 214 trillion Gold Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 32,327 Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dining out often involves leprechauns on the plate no matter what you order, they who do not work shall not eat, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, and recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neandr's national animal is the leprechaun.

Neandr is ranked 243,256^th in the world and 120^th in New Europe for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 18,976 Standard Monetary Units.
