The Republic of Nitrification is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 3.073 billion Nitrificationians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 29.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nitrificationian economy, worth 97.8 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,839 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Leader has just been declared ruler of Nitrification in an international press conference, Nitrification has designated Nitrification City as its capital city, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nitrification's national animal is the shoop, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nitrification is ranked 237,224^th in the world and 2^nd in Gypsum for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
