The Free State of Nagelring is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Thegn Leopold Morgenstern with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, otherworldly petting zoo, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 12.091 billion Nagelreons 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 Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brunhilde. The average income tax rate is 29.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Nagelreon economy, worth 975 trillion thalers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 80,700 thalers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Nagelring, electricians spend more time in school than doctors, and ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nagelring's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is New Avalon Catholic Church.

Nagelring is ranked 69,689^th in the world and 1^st in Steam Punk for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,122.88 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
