The Holy Archduchy of Nitrana is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Bohuslav VII of Žilina with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.308 billion Nitranans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Žilina. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Nitranan economy, worth 507 trillion Nitranan Korunas 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 significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is 80,299 Nitranan Korunas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bike rage is all the rage, travel bureaus double as recruiting centers for national intelligence agencies, family bonding sessions are considered immoral and are banned, and invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nitrana's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholic Christianity.

Nitrana is ranked 231,318^th in the world and 9,035^th in Lazarus for Nudest, with 89.25 cheeks per square mile.
