The Volcanic Islands of Nistriabar is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Prime Alderman with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.144 billion Nistrians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mako. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Nistriabarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,068 trillion Nistis a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 226,231 Nistis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

No one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, people make a career out of medical voyeurism, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, and you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nistriabar's national animal is the White Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Nistriabar is ranked 109,925^th in the world and 3,066^th in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 173.35 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
