The Revolutionary community of Nihilism is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Freydis Nechayev III with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 10.861 billion Nihilists enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of smoldering ruins. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The nihilist economy, worth 410 trillion gold standard coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving and Uranium Mining. Average income is 37,824 gold standard coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nihilist scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack, the government is avowedly secular, the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, and large sections of Nihilism have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nihilism's national animal is the humble earthworm, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is I ate god for breakfast.

Nihilism is ranked 300,045^th in the world and 1^st in Nihil for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.61 kickbacks per hour.
