The Dictatorship of HLSV Nightfall is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.17 billion people 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant HLSV Nightfall economy, worth 154 trillion space rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 16,843 space rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving, referenda are banned by law and the Parliament has absolute control of the legislative process, and the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HLSV Nightfall's national animal is the alien, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HLSV Nightfall is ranked 263,434^th in the world and 8,095^th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.09 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
