The Casual Vampiress of Safiya Nygaard is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Tyler with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.947 billion Nygaardians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shmash. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Nygaardian economy, worth 980 trillion Likes a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,395 Likes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 390,621 per year while the poor average 29,740, a ratio of 13.1 to 1.

Eight-year-olds with lemonade stands have been known to be locked up on charges of embezzlement, citizens are tied down and forced to watch educational videos on empathy, prisoners have been known to host cooking and home décor television shows, and prisoners fit in their parole hearings around their spa treatments. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Safiya Nygaard's national animal is the Crusty, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dressing Like It's the 90s.

Safiya Nygaard is ranked 82,953rd in the world and 13th in Nova Historiae for Most Stationary, with 577.13603341048 days.
