The Lunar Kingdom of Nherzcure is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Mercuria Shadowlight with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.077 billion Nherzcurians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mercury. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Nherzcurean economy, worth a remarkable 3,068 trillion Lunariauxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 338,044 Lunariauxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise, pausing for applause during a speech is seen as a form of censorship, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, and bronze and marble supplies are running low as sculptors depict full-figured subjects. Crime is totally unknown. Nherzcure's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Librarism.

Nherzcure is ranked 1,232^nd in the world and 23^rd in Lunaria for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 24,121.03 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
