The Silicon Empire of Nasda is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Silicon Valley with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.134 billion Nasdans 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silicon Valley. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Nasdan economy, worth 645 trillion phones a year, is broadly diversified and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 205,904 phones, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,266,087 per year while the poor average 14,614, a ratio of 86.6 to 1.

The art of conversation has been rediscovered, the car industry has been kicked into one-gear, men are enrolling into lady etiquette courses, and polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nasda's national animal is the screen, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Silicon Valley.

Nasda is ranked 330,082^nd in the world and 62^nd in Panama Papers for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -15.26 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
