The Kingdom of Nictania is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Kein III Di Löwe with an even hand, and renowned for its feral children, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 8.447 billion Nictanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virtaxi. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Nictanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,110 trillion Nets a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 131,514 Nets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, the national colors help to make everyone look slimmer, and treason is relative. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nictania's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Animism.

Nictania is ranked 15,537^th in the world and 825^th in Osiris for Most Armed, with 9.04 weapons per person.
