The Volcanic Islands of Nistriabar is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Prime Alderman with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.119 billion Nistrians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mako. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Nistriabarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,061 trillion Nistis a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 226,035 Nistis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, there's no such thing as bad publicity, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, and retired racing White Sharks are served truffles for breakfast. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nistriabar's national animal is the White Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Nistriabar is ranked 20,538^th in the world and 809^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 113.72 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
