The Byronic Heroes of Nodin is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Padwick with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 41.395 billion Nodinians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frickenhausen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Nodinian economy, worth an astonishing 12,199 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 294,706 $$s, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,749,689 per year while the poor average 2,786, a ratio of 986 to 1.

The television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units, the newest season of Landlord Cops was filmed in front of a live audience, and women complaining about lack of opportunity are told to "man up". Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nodin's national animal is the prairie oyster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Aubrey-Maturinism.

Nodin is ranked 11,705^th in the world and 4^th in Islam for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,470 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
