The Republic of Nivosea is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, zero percent divorce rate, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.811 billion Nivoseans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seattle. The average income tax rate is 25.2%.

The all-consuming Nivosean economy, worth 463 trillion Gold Bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 121,575 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, the military has gone fission for more funding, a doomsday device lies untouched in a public park (Nivosea has found 4 easter eggs), and the navy's new flotilla is gonna be a thrilla. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nivosea's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nivosea is ranked 72,610^th in the world and 1,580^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.68 law-abiding acts per hour.
