The Communist Utopia of Nisastria is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Temalton the Great with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.052 billion Nisastrians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhotob. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Nisastrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,473 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 97,869 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", helping grandma with her Misgendering 101 homework is a national rite of passage, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and immigrants who carry knives on them are presumed to be chefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nisastria's national animal is the merkat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Nisastria is ranked 10,302nd in the world and 547th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 117 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
