The Republic of Nislavic is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Just David with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.325 billion Nislavians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Nislavia. The average income tax rate is 88.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Nislavian economy, worth 340 trillion Nislavic Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 146,250 Nislavic Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, toddler groups have taken over local libraries, and gay couples have to travel to Brancaland to find a church that will actually let them wed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nislavic's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.
Nislavic is ranked 253,350th in the world and 5,258th in the Rejected Realms for Most Extreme, scoring 9.81 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
