The District of Nade is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 22.238 billion Nadeans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.2%.

The very strong Nadean economy, worth a remarkable 1,265 trillion betales a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 56,922 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 173,886 per year while the poor average 14,442, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Nade's national animal is the deer.

Nade is ranked 238,208^th in the world and 4^th in Bridgetown for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
