The Empire of Your Very Worst Nightmare is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nightmarean Emperor with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.016 billion Nightmareans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nightmareopolis. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Nightmarean economy, worth 361 trillion Peoples 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. 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 89,947 Peoples, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

There is a law against "filthy foreign food", wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, crooks and people with too many kids are being kicked out of the country, and jaywalking is punishable by public flogging. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Your Very Worst Nightmare's national animal is the People, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.

Your Very Worst Nightmare is ranked 296,137th in the world and 10,490th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 1.0814576412 days.
