The Commonwealth of Nistriabar is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 569 million Nistrians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mako. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nistriabarian economy, worth 69.0 trillion Nistrian Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 121,190 Nistrian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, deli patrons examine their roast beef for undetonated explosives, the nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, and annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nistriabar's national animal is the White Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nistriabar is ranked 138,048^th in the world and 7,177^th in The North Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 579.89 milliStalins.
