The Colony of Nihileitatus is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, aversion to nipples, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 15.072 billion Nihileitatusians 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 minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nihileitatus City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The strong Nihileitatusian economy, worth 929 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 61,670 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending is on the increase, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, and those found guilty of illicit affairs are jailed. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Nihileitatus's national animal is the Timber Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nihileitatus is ranked 286,170^th in the world and 7^th in Bellatoria for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -11.4 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
