Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic Judgeship of Nullarni is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by William Jonas with a fair hand, and renowned for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.652 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Social Equality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mittlere. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

The nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, nervous homeowners have been blamed for rising death rates amongst carol singers and locksmiths, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, and Nullarni-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Nullarni's national animal is the phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the shiblon.

Nullarni is ranked 2nd in New Warsaw Pact and 861st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring 43 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
