The Federal Republic of Lesser Nightston is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by 6th President Auguste Cordin with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.16 billion Nightstonians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solsthaven. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nightstonian economy, worth 605 trillion lenilars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 145,436 lenilars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, foreign aid is a seedy business, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, and the black market offers sweet deals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lesser Nightston's national animal is the robin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lesser Nightston is ranked 91,084^th in the world and 645^th in the West Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,484.36 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
