The Commonwealth of Nachtblume is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.027 billion Nachtblumeans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The very strong Nachtblumean economy, worth 237 trillion Blümes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 78,496 Blümes, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

People often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, a government program is underway to revitalize Nachtblume's beaches, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Nachtblume's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nachtblume is ranked 87,278^th in the world and 3,915^th in Osiris for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
