The People's Republic of Nihilroth is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Galaru ap Amgueddfa with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 5.374 billion Nihilrothians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vluidrith. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Nihilrothian economy, worth 319 trillion Darnarians a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,484 Darnarians, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The comic book series 'Galaru ap Amgueddfa and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education, a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons, and rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nihilroth's national animal is the Arth Gwych, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nihilroth is ranked 278,365^th in the world and 6,038^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.56 flags saluted per person per day.
