The Empire of Niradans is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Victoria Adarin with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.173 billion 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, socially-minded, 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 64.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Niradansian economy, worth 73.3 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 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 62,478 Joys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, some people will do literally anything to be in the spotlight, drowning sailors are hung out to dry, and citizens sell their moldy bread as homemade penicillin. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive 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, and its national religion is Lisfe.

Niradans is ranked 18,274^th in the world and 701^st in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 6,060.39 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
