The Borderlands of Neve Dan is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.366 billion Neve Danians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shiloh. The average income tax rate is 56.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Neve Danian economy, worth 149 trillion Denias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,970 Denias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, Leader has just been declared ruler of Neve Dan in an international press conference, exterminator companies deploy nerve gas in turf wars, and national chefs believe that you can eat anything so long as you deep fry it first. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neve Dan's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Neve Dan is ranked 4,952^nd in the world and 42^nd in the Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 7,625.12 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
