The Birty Dastards of Nanzig is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by NaN with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, national health service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 37.225 billion Nanzigians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nanzig. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Nanzigian economy, worth a remarkable 6,371 trillion Sis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 171,164 Sis, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,055,137 per year while the poor average 12,070, a ratio of 87.4 to 1.

The government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway, and city rooftops are pockmarked with the shattered remains of experimental delivery drones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Nanzig's national animal is the Ha, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Nanzig.

Nanzig is ranked 263,100^th in the world and 36^th in The Genesis Corporation for Highest Poor Incomes, with 12,070.9 Standard Monetary Units.
