The Theocracy of Nix is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, devout population of 6.405 billion Albae are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Albaean economy, worth 37.6 trillion Slaves a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Gambling. Average income is 5,877 Slaves, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nix's national animal is the Nixbeast, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nix is ranked 213,962^nd in the world and 9,661^st in Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 269.2 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
