The United Socialist States of Nivgrad is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by General Secretary Andrei Kedrov with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.123 billion Nivgradians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nivgrad City. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Nivgradian economy, worth a remarkable 4,925 trillion Nivgradian Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 271,794 Nivgradian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, government workers are more efficient and more unhappy than ever, and everyone suspects that everyone else is a terrorist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nivgrad's national animal is the Arctic Caterpiller, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Nivgrad is ranked 273,895th in the world and 1,148th in Europeia for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 21.92 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
