NGL

Neo-Green Life (NGL) is an autonomous state and part of the Mitene Union, inhabited by a neo-luddite culture. It is bordered by the Rokario Republic.

The NGL movement was first established by Gyro at the age of 21 and fully became a nation nine years later. The people of NGL reject any form of modern technology and prevent anything created from synthetic materials from entering their country. Any smuggling of technological goods, modern medicine, or weapons is dealt with through imprisonment or death sentence. Their main form of correspondence is through use of letters while the primary mode of transport is by horse. In order to enter the country, one must go through an extensive full-body examination, x-ray scan, and ultrasound.

Gyro is also founder of the NGL's underworld; he used the isolationist policy to his advantage and created narcotics and weapons factories. He created and distributed the popular drug D².

The country was populated by 2.17 million civilians prior to its decimation. Following the Chimera Ant invasion, NGL was decimated and transformed into a permanent nature preserve. The refugees were divided among the remaining countries of the Mitene Union.
