The Absolute Monarchy of Kingdom of Nelrok is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The King with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.966 billion Nelrokians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nelrok. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Nelrokian economy, worth a remarkable 9,345 trillion Ravenmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 425,435 Ravenmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The King is famed for giving great back rubs, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, most ambassadors from Kingdom of Nelrok retire only a few years after being appointed, and the media seems excessively interested in what The King is wearing this season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingdom of Nelrok's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cult of the Raven.

Kingdom of Nelrok is ranked 100th in the world and 2nd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 284.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
