The Imperial State of Nulkia is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Felix Nulkia with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 19.905 billion Nulkians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felixcity. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nulkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,938 trillion Sovereigns a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,374 Sovereigns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, future leaders of Nulkia regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb, and airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nulkia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nulkianism.

Nulkia is ranked 2,302^nd in the world and 6^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 11,522.13 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
