The Theocracy of Nienna is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, parental licensing program, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The democratic population of 3.935 billion Niennans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 22.4%.

The strong Niennan economy, worth 266 trillion Griefs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,808 Griefs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, army rations are served on silver platters, roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse, and foreign lack of enthusiasm for Niennan nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nienna's national animal is the Sadness, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nienna is ranked 112,222^nd in the world and 9^th in Valandor for Safest, scoring 77.34 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
