The State of Nachthauser is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 34.78 billion Nachthauserians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Law & Order, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.

The thriving Nachthauserian economy, worth a remarkable 1,373 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 39,486 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 117,406 per year while the poor average 10,411, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Nachthauser has designated Central Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem. Nachthauser's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Nachthauser is ranked 256,786^th in the world and 442^nd in Ancient Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 48.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
