The Soviet Socialist Federation of Nerodanus is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Maxim Kuznetsov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 21.382 billion Neroians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drakodia. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Neroan economy, worth a remarkable 4,044 trillion Nevkels a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 189,136 Nevkels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Subscribing to the Benevolence Society for Impoverished Leaders is an effective way to dodge the draft, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, the nation's children are known for being even more apathetic and cynical than their parents, and immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nerodanus's national animal is the Eastern Neroian Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Jexukhism.

Nerodanus is ranked 28,159^th in the world and 2^nd in Elvarya for Most Patriotic, with 39.86 flags saluted per person per day.
