The People's Democratic Republic of Nilave is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Antônio Marinho with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.642 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, outspoken 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 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Nilavean economy, worth 617 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 169,603 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, the government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, the government funds large training centres to turn dolphins into functioning members of society, and government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time. 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 2,688^th in the world and 74^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 10,864.29 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
