The Light Machine Gun of Negev is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Negev with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 9.682 billion Negevians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jerusalem. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Negevian economy, worth a remarkable 2,261 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 233,568 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Young criminals are told they'll go to bed without supper if they do it again, the election for Negev's office's janitor is heating up, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors. Crime is totally unknown. Negev's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism.

Negev is ranked 8,384^th in the world and 13^th in Ambition for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 456.21 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
