The Democratic States of Niktoland is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and digital currency. The compassionate population of 658 million Niktolandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asogi. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Niktolandian economy, worth 53.4 trillion Niktons a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,207 Niktons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, bizarre-looking creatures called 'squirreldogs' dominate wildlife preserves, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, and many aides in Leader's office are known to be serial jaywalkers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Niktoland's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Niktoland is ranked 57,804^th in the world and 1,314^th in The East Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,260.11 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
