The Allied States of Nebulum is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 334 million Nebuls have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minisshafn. The average income tax rate is 32.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Nebulumian economy, worth 28.2 trillion Eadries a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,537 Eadries, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major polluting industries have painted a lot of their machines green to give an impression of caring about the environment, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Leader, the nation's secret service is so secret that nobody knows if it has one, and careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nebulum's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nebulum is ranked 143,288^th in the world and 5^th in New Ukraine for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
