The Dominion of Nadris is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Norolos with an iron fist, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.725 billion Nadris 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ne Noro. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.9%.

The large but inefficient Nadris economy, worth 197 trillion Medallions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 41,808 Medallions, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Community centers have arisen from the ashes of demolished houses of worship, recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, Norolos has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences, and Norolos is the self-declared God of all Nadris. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nadris's national animal is the Cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nadris Paganism.

Nadris is ranked 241,980^th in the world and 4^th in Cake for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.31 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
