The Stratocratic Empire of Nyte is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Xaiah Morningstar with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 29.143 billion Nyteborne are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Halcon. The average income tax rate is 81.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nyteborne economy, worth a remarkable 7,593 trillion Bloodmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 260,558 Bloodmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government spends billions to protect Nyte from a disaster that is one in a million, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, and young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nyte's national animal is the All Consuming Shadow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nyte is ranked 12,381^st in the world and 5^th in The Milky Way Galaxy for Most Cultured, scoring 104 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
