The Republic of Nivesia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Connor Kaminski with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.875 billion Nivesians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Augusta. The average income tax rate is 40.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Nivesian economy, worth 97.9 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 52,187 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Journalists often nap through tedious police press briefings, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and everyone hates people who encourage hate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nivesia's national animal is the Nivesian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nivesia is ranked 120,044^th in the world and 5,906^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
