The Yellow Loving Monarchy of Niemence is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Anton Bauer II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.115 billion Niemceans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Friedlichkeit. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Niemencean economy, worth 97.0 trillion Niemencean Reichtums a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,002 Niemencean Reichtums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, and the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Niemence's national animal is the Niemencean eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Niemence is ranked 15,819^th in the world and 310^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,193.39 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
