The Republic of Nerdherdia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Head Minister Toby Renfro with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.005 billion Nerads enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jackson City. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Neradian economy, worth a remarkable 2,515 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,740 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, the Nerdherdia Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', and 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nerdherdia's national animal is the Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nerdherdia is ranked 13,182nd in the world and 18th in Concord for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
