The Most Absolute Tsardom of Nikolaias is a massive, genial nation, ruled by HIM Tsar Benjamin Romanov with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, public floggings, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, devout population of 4.984 billion Nikolaiasans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Public Transport are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Alexis. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Nikolaiasan economy, worth 404 trillion Quinnels a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,095 Quinnels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving", legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, saying "don't do anything that HIM Tsar Benjamin Romanov wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, and life is somewhat repetitive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nikolaias's national animal is the Cyber-Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Nikolaias is ranked 112,653^rd in the world and 44^th in Avaldonia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 158.66 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
