The Tsardom of Nukerida is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Tsar Konstantin III with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, zero percent divorce rate, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.211 billion Nukeridans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vevoritsa. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Nukeridan economy, worth 347 trillion Luvkas a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,166 Luvkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets, hot dogs have been renamed lukewarm pigs, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, and a state-funded project is investigating whether the moon is made of cheese. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nukerida's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Islam and Orthodox Christianity.

Nukerida is ranked 248,359^th in the world and 1,042^nd in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
