The Yellow Loving Monarchy of Niemence is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Anton Bauer II with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.186 billion Niemceans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Friedlichkeit. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Niemencean economy, worth 101 trillion Niemencean Reichtums a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,838 Niemencean Reichtums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children aren't allowed to chew their pencils until they get home from school, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, and the song 'They Got an Awful Lot of Coffee in Niemence' is a smash hit. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Niemence's national animal is the Niemencean eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Niemence is ranked 48,689^th in the world and 561^st in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 151.3 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
