The National Treasure of Nachtwacht is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Rembrandt van Rijn with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 37.825 billion Nachtwachtians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amsterdam. The average income tax rate is 46.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Nachtwachtian economy, worth a remarkable 8,754 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 231,459 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, politicians have seen a significant reduction in followers on their social media accounts, edgy teens know that illegal discos are where the cool cats hang, and oddly patriotic flash mobs spontaneously sing the national anthem. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nachtwacht's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

Nachtwacht is ranked 234,170^th in the world and 170^th in Nederland for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.16 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
