The Federal Republic of Niktobr is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Gaius August with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.172 billion Niktobrians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitolstadt. The average income tax rate is 86.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Niktobrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,564 trillion Neroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 96,724 Neroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers, business leaders commend the government for enacting an emissions reduction strategy that reduces no Niktobrian emissions at all, tens of thousands of Niktobrians rock the night away at the annual SuperLob, and tourists visit Niktobr to mass-moon Niktobrian politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Niktobr's national animal is the Ironhead Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Niktobr is ranked 177,955th in the world and 81st in St Abbaddon for Most Stationary, with 82.82642615772 days.
