The Federal Kingdom of Nardin is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Stanislav III Krajik with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, devout population of 16.039 billion Nardiniks 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krajik. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nardinik economy, worth a remarkable 1,468 trillion Nardinik thalers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 91,559 Nardinik thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, the new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare", many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed, and politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nardin's national animal is the Skijic Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Nardinik Orthodoxy.

Nardin is ranked 4,405^th in the world and 69^th in Europe for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 101.69 Bank.
