The Empire of Niradans is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 833 million Niradansians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Immortalis. The average income tax rate is 59.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Niradansian economy, worth 54.6 trillion Joys 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. 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 65,581 Joys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

'Police Academy 36' and 'Sharknados On A Plane' are vying for top spot at the box-office, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, people's charity begins and ends at home, and the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Niradans's national animal is the Antilope, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Niradans is ranked 46,356^th in the world and 2,649^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 26.89 Atheism Rate.
