The State of Nahanni is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.387 billion Nahannians 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The very strong Nahannian economy, worth a remarkable 1,291 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 50,866 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 324,466 per year while the poor average 3,279, a ratio of 98.9 to 1.

Elected officials often serve for decades in a single term, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, and medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Nahanni's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nahanni is ranked 278,805^th in the world and 3^rd in Border City for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.73 kickbacks per hour.
