The Empire of Nb perm is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.066 billion Nb permians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.7%.

The powerhouse Nb permian economy, worth 327 trillion Duckcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 80,439 Duckcoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 358,759 per year while the poor average 11,205, a ratio of 32.0 to 1.

Judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, programmers often reinvent the wheel, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, and only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nb perm's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nb perm is ranked 303,261st in the world and 1,216th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -11.29 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
