The Madness of Nero is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 24.092 billion Neroans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nero City. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Neroan economy, worth 666 trillion Aurums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 27,663 Aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, foreigners are treated with great suspicion, and female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nero's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Jupiter Rising.

Nero is ranked 80,193rd in the world and 2nd in Third Imperial Union for Most Stationary, with 604.37977291892 days.
