The Tsardom of Nukerida is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Tsar Konstantin III with an iron fist, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, conspicuous electricity pylons, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.116 billion Nukeridans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vevoritsa. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Nukeridan economy, worth 323 trillion Luvkas a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,831 Luvkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, thoughts and prayers have replaced flood barriers and evacuation plans, the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, and government projects are full of waste. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nukerida's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Islam and Orthodox Christianity.

Nukerida is ranked 111,546^th in the world and 530^th in Europeia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 756.57 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
