The People's Democratic Republic of Nilave is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Antônio Marinho with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.821 billion Nilaveans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto Delfim. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Nilavean economy, worth 666 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 174,253 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, Antônio Marinho's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, the only things written in the stars are arrest warrants for astrologers, and patch v22.1705 - all developers are now paid for work. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nilave's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Nilave is ranked 4,808^th in the world and 115^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Developed, scoring 94.96 on the Human Development Index.
