The Archipelago of Con Nihawitan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Conrad Natiwahin with an iron fist, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.048 billion Connihawits are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nihaw City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Connihawit economy, worth 567 trillion Nihawitans a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,447 Nihawitans, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 448,673 per year while the poor average 18,958, a ratio of 23.7 to 1.

Asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, President Conrad Natiwahin can cry on demand, red rinses are frequently applied to grey hair, and President Conrad Natiwahin's new office has a propensity to catch on fire. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Con Nihawitan's national animal is the Newt, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Path of Witan.

Con Nihawitan is ranked 284,933^rd in the world and 3,490^th in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -207.14 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
