The Republic of Nitrogen Cycle is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 2.633 billion Nitrogen Cycleans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 19.3%.

The Nitrogen Cyclean economy, worth 116 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 44,079 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds, a major religion has been named as Nitrogen Cycle's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Nitrogen Cycle in an international press conference, and Nitrogen Cycle has designated Nitrogen Cycle City as its capital city. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nitrogen Cycle's national animal is the shoop, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nitrogen Cycle is ranked 250,241^st in the world and 4^th in Pyrite for Highest Food Quality, scoring 10.14 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
