The Community of Nixess is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, vat-grown people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.443 billion Nixessians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.1%.

The all-consuming Nixessian economy, worth 156 trillion awake-hours a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 108,115 awake-hours, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 590,925 per year while the poor average 10,112, a ratio of 58.4 to 1.

Great grey owls with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, government adverts say that twelve lashes a day keeps divine wrath at bay, courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Nixessians, and the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nixess's national animal is the great grey owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nixess is ranked 34,678^th in the world and 2^nd in Nova Constantinople for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,462.87 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
