The Greater Convocation of Nifid is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 21.848 billion tumblers 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Null. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient a tumbler economy, worth 637 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 29,158 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, Nifid has designated Null as its capital city, and cars are banned from built-up areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nifid's national animal is the quark, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nifid is ranked 116,158^th in the world and 6^th in Auxilium for Largest Governments, scoring 15.33 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
