The Republic of Nickyuwu 1155 is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 731 million Nickyuwu 1155ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 35.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Nickyuwu 1155ian economy, worth 48.3 trillion francs a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,051 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

In court almost every witness is a hostile witness, ancestry test results arrive bundled with patent applications, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, and wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nickyuwu 1155's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nickyuwu 1155 is ranked 121,598^th in the world and 1,900^th in Danish Wonderland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
