The Dual Monarchy of the Empire of The Nightmare and Dreams is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nightmarius von Karol Alexius Bellum with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 4.379 billion Nightmarians and Dreakovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nightmaria Abyssalias Rex at Drea Cylkar. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nightmare and Dreamsian economy, worth 634 trillion Crown deluges a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,938 Crown deluges, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, anti-government web sites are springing up, a new generation of space-obsessed youth are convinced there's nothing out there, and couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Nightmare and Dreams's national animal is the The Imperial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Cultus Imperialis Alvedias.

The Nightmare and Dreams is ranked 302,922^nd in the world and 4,912^th in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -328.08 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
