The Federal Kingdom of Nardin is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by King Stanislav III av Krajik with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 22.941 billion Nardiniks 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krajik. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nardinik economy, worth a remarkable 2,571 trillion Nardinik thalers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,085 Nardinik thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The constant playing of Merry Birthday on Nardinik radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, lumberjacks only use certified eco-friendly chainsaws, a passport is literally priceless, and drawing men's naughty bits isn't considered to be art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nardin's national animal is the Skijic falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Nardinik Orthodoxy.

Nardin is ranked 253,220^th in the world and 1,157^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.62 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
