“Lemme think about that and get back to you”

The Commonwealth of Nylter is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Shadow with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 12.771 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Healthcare and Social Equality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dragon Den. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, and the government pours millions of togs into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nylter's national animal is the dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the tog.

Nylter is ranked 25th in the region and 1,477th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
