The Community of Nixess is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.511 billion Nixessians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Nixessian economy, worth 171 trillion awake-hours a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 113,776 awake-hours, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 629,059 per year while the poor average 10,377, a ratio of 60.6 to 1.

Contrails and thunderous rumbles have returned to the skies above, courtrooms can be a little sketchy, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and the annual government yacht trip is sponsored by criminal syndicates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nixess's national animal is the great grey owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nixess is ranked 8,916^th in the world and 1^st in Nova Constantinople for Safest, scoring 120.87 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
