The State free of suffering of Nirvana is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Amita Cobain Tabha with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.96 billion enlightened ones 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 relatively small, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Welfare, Defense, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Formerly Aberdeen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.6%.

The strong englightened economy, worth 481 trillion broken cycles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 69,105 broken cycles, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

The Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, the government seizes all major gold finds, and it's believed that women's brains will overheat if they think for themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nirvana's national animal is the Butterfly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Peace.

Nirvana is ranked 280,142^nd in the world and 11,842^nd in Osiris for Smartest Citizens, with 16.84 quips per hour.
