The Gay Paradise of Nilesnia is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Corrin with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 7.343 billion Nilesnians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nohr. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Nilesnian economy, worth a remarkable 1,698 trillion golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Soda Sales, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 231,340 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's biggest export is stupidity, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, and married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nilesnia's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nilesnia is ranked 15,553^rd in the world and 13^th in Ridgefield for Most Developed, scoring 88.13 on the Human Development Index.
