The Techo-Social Empire of Nymany is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Augustin II with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.669 billion Nymen 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bestro. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nyman economy, worth a remarkable 1,038 trillion Rattas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 183,242 Rattas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Loss of the ability to speak is a common affliction of the elderly, children who ask questions are told to conduct double-blinded studies, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, and anti-tourism militias patrol the borders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nymany's national animal is the 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Neo-Nymanism.

Nymany is ranked 14,237^th in the world and 44^th in Fifth Empire for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,227.01 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
