The Nya of Nekoium is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, parental licensing program, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.594 billion Nekoiumians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Nekoiumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,469 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 126,780 francs, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

The mark of a good ruler is the largeness of his chin, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, there's more pink stuff on sale these days, and children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nekoium's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nekoium is ranked 207,785^th in the world and 1^st in Nekoium for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
