The People's Socialist Union of Njyrheim is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its national health service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 771 million Njyrs love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velxin. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Njyr economy, worth 66.8 trillion njyrmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 86,606 njyrmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, and populations of two-headed silver foxes have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Njyrheim's national animal is the silver fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Njyrheim is ranked 148,605^th in the world and 427^th in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,086.44 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
