The People's Democratic Republic of Nilave is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Antônio Marinho with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.663 billion Nilaveans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto Delfim. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Nilavean economy, worth 623 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 170,272 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, pretty hair and tight shorts are considered to be essentials for successful political lobbyists, and the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nilave's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Nilave is ranked 163,102^nd in the world and 303^rd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Populations, with 3.66 billion capita.
