The Lucky Christmas of Nivosea is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Santa Claus with a fair hand, and renowned for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.711 billion Nivoseans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cedar Plaza. The average income tax rate is 24.1%.

The all-consuming Nivosean economy, worth 441 trillion Gold Brains a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 119,087 Gold Brains, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Players panic as they discover the newest chain can reset their populations and even delete their nations (Nivosea has found 3 easter eggs), marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips, and if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Nivosean satellites can detect it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nivosea's national animal is the Gold Brains, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nivosea is ranked 155,900th in the world and 2,243rd in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 140.82047931928 days.
