The Republic of Nikhilesh23 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by NIKHILESH with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings, prohibition of alcohol, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.472 billion Nikhilesh23ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Peacock lake city. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nikhilesh23ian economy, worth 483 trillion RUPEES a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 139,141 RUPEES, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, and withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nikhilesh23's national animal is the BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nikhilesh23 is ranked 128,970^th in the world and 6,616^th in The North Pacific for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -4.24 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
