Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The SOS Brigade of Nyuu-Land is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Suzumiya Haruhi with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.145 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Law & Order are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brigade HQ. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Gambling, and Book Publishing industries.

Rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Nyuu-Land after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, Mikuru-Chans are considered a delicacy, and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nyuu-Land's national animal is the Mikuru-Chan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Haruhiism, and its currency is the Brigade Chip.

Nyuu-Land is ranked 21st in pacific and 97,866th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -31 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
