The Confederacy of Nasdara is a very large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 257 million Nasdars enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 31.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Nasdaran economy, worth 13.5 trillion Gilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 52,601 Gilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Nasdara City as a backdrop, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, and workers have their fruitcake and eat it too. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nasdara's national animal is the Steller's Sea Eagle, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Nasdara is ranked 252,143^rd in the world and 99^th in Cumberperry for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -8 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
