The Federal Kingdom of Nardin is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Stanislav III av Krajik with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 28.101 billion Nardiniks enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krajik. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Nardinik economy, worth a remarkable 4,812 trillion Nardinik thalers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,261 Nardinik thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, and grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nardin's national animal is the Skijic falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Nardinik Orthodoxy.

Nardin is ranked 189,940^th in the world and 784^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 102.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
