The Free Land of Nikoyo is a small, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning dove population. The hard-working population of 26 million Nikoyoans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 14.7%.

The Nikoyoan economy, worth 1.26 trillion birdsongs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 48,378 birdsongs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nikoyo's national animal is the dove.

Nikoyo is ranked 223,440^th in the world and 944^th in Perseverance for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
