The Midnight Kingdom of Nightralia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Surya Odin 'Santa Claus' Parantaka with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, lack of airports, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.173 billion Nightrals are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Srivijaya-Fjallvári. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Nightralian economy, worth 484 trillion astrals a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,625 astrals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Astronauts take one small step for Nightralia and one giant step backward from confrontation, recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nightralia's national animal is the Night Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Astro-Shaktism.

Nightralia is ranked 6,688th in the world and 6th in Carcassonne for Smartest Citizens, with 112.09 quips per hour.
