The Republic of Nidonsalich is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Roman Herzog with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.457 billion Nidonsalichians 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 Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dresden. The average income tax rate is 79.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Nidonsalichian economy, worth a remarkable 2,773 trillion euros a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 179,449 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's school children are fluent in Klingon but lack basic mathematical skills, politicians take citizens for idiots, garden flower shows rarely smell of roses, and the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nidonsalich's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Zeit.

Nidonsalich is ranked 298,454^th in the world and 5,608^th in The North Pacific for Nudest, with 19 cheeks per square mile.
