The Cockroach Killer 1000 of Nelris is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 1.634 billion Nelrisians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 21.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nelrisian economy, worth 65.3 trillion Malts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,946 Malts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nelris's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nelris is ranked 52,126^th in the world and 687^th in eta for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,554.26 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
