The Pagan City of Ninive is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 32.988 billion Niniveans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ninive. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Ninivean economy, worth a remarkable 6,345 trillion Sins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 192,344 Sins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,258,774 per year while the poor average 11,554, a ratio of 108 to 1.

Elections have recently been reintroduced to Ninive, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and some members of Parliament are illiterate. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ninive's national animal is the goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ninive is ranked 939^th in the world and 70^th in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 10,789.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
