The Serene Socialist Republic of The Nuclear Fist is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Comrade Papush Kvaratskhelia with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.626 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haven. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

Citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone, students cut up leftover woolongs during Arts and Crafts, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Nuclear Fist's national animal is the Sasquatch, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Secularism, and its currency is the woolong.

The Nuclear Fist is ranked 59th in Ankh Mauta and 78,185th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 15 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
