The Grand Duchy of Nukem is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, anti-smoking policies, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, devout population of 232 million Nukemians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 52.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Nukemian economy, worth 8.29 trillion Babeses 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 led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 35,721 Babeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is cheaper to die in the wilderness than to survive, government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, and the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nukem's national animal is the Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nukem is ranked 87,288^th in the world and 4^th in Meme Time for Largest Governments, scoring 18.03 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
