The State of Nicholsen is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.942 billion Nicholsenians 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, prioritizes Industry, with Defense and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The very strong Nicholsenian economy, worth 888 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 59,462 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 383,243 per year while the poor average 3,727, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Nicholsen's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and Nicholsen is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Nicholsen's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nicholsen is ranked 288,159^th in the world and 8^th in Victoria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 34.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
