The Kingdom of Nerdphoria is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Tyrantosaurus Rex with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 17.781 billion Nerdphorians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Undabanam Undabanakta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Nerdphorian economy, worth a remarkable 2,405 trillion Talars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 135,270 Talars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 644,865 per year while the poor average 16,675, a ratio of 38.7 to 1.

Clothing with a scarlet S is popular among repentant body shamers, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, and the Treasury Minister takes anxiety medication every time kids lose their sports kits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nerdphoria's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Polytheism.

Nerdphoria is ranked 33,389th in the world and 3rd in Barbaria for Highest Average Incomes, with 135,270.8 Standard Monetary Units.
