The Federation of Nuveen is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its feral children, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 122 million Nuveenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The powerhouse Nuveenian economy, worth 8.85 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 72,520 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 466,504 per year while the poor average 4,570, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Leader is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, teddy bear James Dean (aka "the Rebel Without the Claws") helps convince kids that candy cigarettes are cool, and diplomats shake hands with their right and hide a poison dagger in their left. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Nuveen's national animal is the Chihuahua, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nuveen is ranked 296,974^th in the world and 7^th in VinCorp for Nicest Citizens, with 1.19 average smiles per day.
