The Omnisapient Neotopia of Nurdia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grand Poohbah Nurdibashi with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 34.707 billion Nurdians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government is dominated by the Department of Education, although Social Policy is also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nurdiopolis. The average income tax rate is 55.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Nurdian economy, worth a remarkable 2,943 trillion Groats a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 84,814 Groats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, the government hopes austerity will lead to prosperity, carefully-staged grief is displayed by Grand Poohbah Nurdibashi after national disasters, and the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector. Crime is totally unknown. Nurdia's national animal is the Megaprawn, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nurdia is ranked 241,351^st in the world and 8^th in The Atlantic for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -38.34 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
