The People's Socialist Union of Njyrheim is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 625 million Njyrs 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 Velxin. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Njyr economy, worth 53.2 trillion njyrmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 85,045 njyrmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jury selection begins with explaining what a jury is, the NBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, foreign despots proudly bandstand on Njyr airwaves, and young girls often attend the same schools as their children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Njyrheim's national animal is the silver fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Njyrheim is ranked 126,437^th in the world and 519^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,593.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
