The Watchfires of NI-1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, devout population of 28.259 billion NI-1ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong NI-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,718 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,800 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, Leader has been known to make speeches in fishing waders, and Leader can cry on demand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NI-1's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NI-1 is ranked 125,268^th in the world and 2^nd in Elba for Highest Average Incomes, with 60,800.29 Standard Monetary Units.
