The Sitethief Top level domain of NL is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Rutte with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and hatred of cheese. The cynical, devout population of 22.945 billion NLS are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amsterdam. The average income tax rate is 45.2%.

The frighteningly efficient NLian economy, worth a remarkable 1,818 trillion Guldens a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 79,264 Guldens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and meetings involving club finances are frequently broken up by men in black suits. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. NL's national animal is the Royal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vrijheid van Religie.

NL is ranked 291,966th in the world and 11,132nd in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 12.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
