The Volcanic Islands of Nistriabar is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by The High Chancellor with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, complete lack of prisons, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.224 billion Nistrians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mako. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Nistriabarian economy, worth a remarkable 4,223 trillion Nistis a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 296,946 Nistis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of The High Chancellor, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, many politicians are having to do a hard day's work for the first time in their careers, and old cars must undergo mandatory sensitivity training. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nistriabar's national animal is the White Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Nistriabar is ranked 1,764^th in the world and 73^rd in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 12,887.1 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
