The Hekloslogravian Protectorate of Nin Sufia is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 7.762 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

Referenda are banned by law and the Parliament has absolute control of the legislative process, the government is seen to favor Catholics, long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, and corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products. Crime is moderate. Nin Sufia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the DOCA.

Nin Sufia is ranked 9th in Uroca and 68,893rd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -14 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
