The People's Republic of Nicopia is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 261 million Nicopians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Nicopian economy, worth 2.61 trillion sandarnts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 9,994 sandarnts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation rates have hit a new low, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nicopia's national animal is the bluejay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nicopia is ranked 284,582^nd in the world and 653^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -8.89 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
