The Protectorate of Nairova is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, otherworldly petting zoo, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.215 billion Nairovans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.2%.

The all-consuming Nairovan economy, worth 186 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,056 lire, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, the government snoops on private internet connections, business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders, and raccoons are plump and satiated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nairova's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nairova is ranked 99,910^th in the world and 4^th in Island for Highest Poor Incomes, with 30,760.47 Standard Monetary Units.
