The Nomadic Peoples of Nurt is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 691 million Nurtians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. The average income tax rate is 9.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Nurtian economy, worth 49.5 trillion nurts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 71,626 nurts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, high food prices have reduced the national diet to staple foods and water, a PhD just ain't what it used to be, and international tensions are high as Nurt threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Nurt's national animal is the nurt, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nurt is ranked 137,855^th in the world and 5,666^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 65.67 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
