The Omnisapient Neotopia of Nurdia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Grand Poohbah Nurdibashi with a fair hand, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 33.283 billion Nurdians 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 medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government is dominated by the Department of Education, with Social Policy also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nurdiopolis. The average income tax rate is 52.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but sluggish Nurdian economy, worth a remarkable 1,473 trillion Groats a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,282 Groats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass". Crime is totally unknown. Nurdia's national animal is the Megaprawn, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nurdia is ranked 4,267^th in the world and 1^st in The Atlantic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 112.31 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
