The United Kingdom of Nimux is a small, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 26 million Nimuxians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 52.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Nimuxian economy, worth 1.06 trillion vesexuans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,808 vesexuans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is reliant on the principle of mutually assured destruction to maintain its security. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nimux's national animal is the Jelthoxes, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nimux is ranked 133,920^th in the world and 2,061^st in The East Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 43 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
