The Sovereign Republic of Nuralak is a huge, genial nation, notable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 935 million Nuralakenses have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Danizia. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nuralakian economy, worth 103 trillion Kajar Nuralakenses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 109,811 Kajar Nuralakenses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nuralak's national animal is the Nuralagus Rex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nuralak is ranked 191,148^th in the world and 11^th in Skeridia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,074.91 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
