The Protectorate of Nar Vheen is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Chairman Julius Do'Urden with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, vat-grown people, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.93 billion Nar Vheenians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

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 Eldamar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.3%.

The powerhouse Nar Vheenian economy, worth 562 trillion Imperial Rubles 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 143,186 Imperial Rubles, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Rural Nar Vheenians stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities, the best spies are positively radiant after completing a big mission, trade ministers have to consult a fifty-page "sanctions spreadsheet" to determine which countries they are allowed to do business with, and tourists outnumber citizens two to one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nar Vheen's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Truth.

Nar Vheen is ranked 234,740^th in the world and 288^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Beautiful Environments, with 375.1 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
