The Holy Empire of Nonexistant Rumours is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 12.286 billion Nonexistant Rumoursians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Public Transport, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 15.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Nonexistant Rumoursian economy, worth 376 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 30,674 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, organ donation is compulsory, and cars are banned. Crime is moderate. Nonexistant Rumours's national animal is the donkey.

Nonexistant Rumours is ranked 195,953^rd in the world and 7,348^th in Osiris for Highest Food Quality, scoring 12.23 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
