The People's Democratic Republic of Nilave is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Antônio Marinho with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.859 billion Nilaveans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto Delfim. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Nilavean economy, worth 677 trillion pesos 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, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 175,346 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals in Nilave are too busy serving the needs of The Communist Bloc to see Nilaveans, children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn, the most recent election was a close race between Antônio Marinho and Antônio Marinho, and pranking is an art form. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nilave's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Nilave is ranked 1,589^th in the world and 52^nd in The Communist Bloc for Nicest Citizens, with 76.77 average smiles per day.
