The Confederacy of Nasdara is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 203 million Nasdars enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 30.9%.

The Nasdaran economy, worth 10.6 trillion Gilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,211 Gilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Finders keepers is the law of the land, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Nasdara City as a backdrop, and graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nasdara's national animal is the Steller's Sea Eagle, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Nasdara is ranked 128,519^th in the world and 23^rd in Cumberperry for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,851.3 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
