The Moshpit of Nylithia is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.188 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Azagthoth. The average income tax rate is 88%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Soda Sales and Book Publishing.

Welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, and the art of conversation has been rediscovered. Crime is totally unknown. Nylithia's national animal is the Beast, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the riff.

Nylithia is ranked 21st in Secularia and 94,627th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -26 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
