The Bass-toned Croaker of Nimmo is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its closed borders, daily referendums, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.9 billion Nimmoans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Nimmoan economy, worth 609 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 88,286 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, renewable energy projects have ground to a halt, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, and commemoration of the Great Community War costs almost as much as the war itself. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nimmo's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nimmo is ranked 193,618^th in the world and 8^th in Community for Highest Food Quality, scoring 13.61 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
