The NS Ever Greatest Alliance of 01 ERE is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 13.054 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Book Publishing.

The nation has an international reputation for compassion, vanity is considered the eigth cardinal virtue, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, and urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffer-driven limousines. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 01 ERE's national animal is the bicephalus eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the solidus.

01 ERE is ranked 244th in Eastern Roman Empire and 93,818th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 12 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
