The Democratic Republic of The Nityans is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Anno Domini with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.033 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Welfare and Social Equality are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Green City. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Book Publishing and Gambling.

Citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, the nation is reliant on the principle of mutually assured destruction to maintain its security, and drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Nityans's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Rokada.

The Nityans is ranked 63rd in Osiris and 2,110th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 145 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
