The Omnisapient Neotopia of Nurdia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Grand Poohbah Nurdibashi with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 41.594 billion Nurdians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government is dominated by the Department of Education, although Social Policy and Healthcare are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nurdiopolis. The average income tax rate is 20.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Nurdian economy, worth a remarkable 4,592 trillion Groats a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,412 Groats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Women have a strange proclivity for dressing up as caped weasels, flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", and the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning. Crime is totally unknown. Nurdia's national animal is the Megaprawn, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nurdia is ranked 5,898^th in the world and 3^rd in The Atlantic for Safest, scoring 128.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
