The Federal Kingdom of Nardin is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Stanislav III av Krajik with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 28.284 billion Nardiniks enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krajik. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Nardinik economy, worth a remarkable 4,875 trillion Nardinik thalers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 172,359 Nardinik thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, hospitals in Nardin are too busy serving the needs of Europe to see Nardiniks, and armed security details escort librarians to their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nardin's national animal is the Skijic falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Nardinik Orthodoxy.

Nardin is ranked 3,308^th in the world and 78^th in Europe for Least Corrupt Governments, with 95.63 percentage of bribes refused.
