The People's Democratic Republic of Nilave is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Antônio Marinho with a fair hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.734 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto Delfim. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Nilavean economy, worth 643 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 and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 172,238 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, it is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Nilave is ranked 13,188^th in the world and 143^rd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 9,970.79 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
