The Casual Vampiress of Safiya Nygaard is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Tyler with an iron fist, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, rampant corporate plagiarism, and clockwork self-driving vehicles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.219 billion Nygaardians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shmash. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Nygaardian economy, worth a remarkable 1,664 trillion Likes a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 125,953 Likes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 471,620 per year while the poor average 23,533, a ratio of 20.0 to 1.

Broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, violent criminals are doomed to be hunted by a psychotic billionaire, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, and witches' brews set off Geiger counters. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Safiya Nygaard's national animal is the Crusty, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dressing Like It's the 90s.

Safiya Nygaard is ranked 40,986th in the world and 7th in Nova Historiae for Largest Populations, with 13.2 billion capita.
