The State of Nyxus is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.704 billion Nyxusians 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The strong Nyxusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,154 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 65,200 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 443,281 per year while the poor average 3,503, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, Nyxus has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Nyxus in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nyxus's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nyxus is ranked 111,480^th in the world and 4^th in New Brunswick for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,993.89 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
