The Fiefdom of Nitori is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.328 billion Nitorians 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.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 18.5%.

The Nitorian economy, worth 69.6 trillion ryous a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 52,376 ryous, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Leader is called 'Patches' at international summits, the government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget', a major religion has been named as Nitori's national religion, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Nitori in an international press conference. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nitori's national animal is the bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Nitori is ranked 178,107^th in the world and 669^th in Remembrance for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
