The Democratic Republic of Neurk is a very large, pleasant nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 244 million Neurkians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 7.7%.

The strong Neurkian economy, worth 14.9 trillion baht a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 61,030 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and politicians' smiles are legally considered a form of disaster relief. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Neurk's national animal is the crocodile, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Neurk is ranked 120,956^th in the world and 327^th in Starlight for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,192.57 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
