The Siberian Nuclear Bunker of Nixem is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Alexander Wong with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, strictly enforced bedtime, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 17.905 billion Nixemites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nixemgrad. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Nixemian economy, worth a remarkable 4,060 trillion Polars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 226,765 Polars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Aeroplane cockpits no longer have altimeters or airspeed indicators, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, Supreme Leader Alexander Wong is considering changing the Nixemian flag to one with more glitter, and Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nixem's national animal is the Flame Golem, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nixem is ranked 3,023^rd in the world and 73^rd in the Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 697.24 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
