The Virtual World of Neonlake is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Rossil Fuel with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 11.927 billion Neonites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grandmace. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Neon economy, worth 595 trillion MaceCoins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 49,964 MaceCoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Neon officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, and politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neonlake's national animal is the glow-crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The indomitable human spirit.

Neonlake is ranked 51,312th in the world and 530th in The North Pacific for Largest Populations, with 11.9 billion capita.
