The Republic of Nile Niami is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.961 billion Nile Niamians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The strong Nile Niamian economy, worth 219 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is 55,534 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 357,926 per year while the poor average 3,481, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Nile Niami's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nile Niami is ranked 271,752^nd in the world and 9,894^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 7.06 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
