The Dual Monarchy of the Empire of The Nightmare and Dreams is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Nightmarius von Karol Alexius Bellum with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.138 billion Nightmarians and Dreakovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nightmaria Abyssalias Rex at Drea Cylkar. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Nightmare and Dreamsian economy, worth 418 trillion Crown deluges a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,302 Crown deluges, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, the government has an entire department dedicated to staring at microscopes and writing down letters, and community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Nightmare and Dreams's national animal is the The Imperial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Cultus Imperialis Alvedias.

The Nightmare and Dreams is ranked 271,322^nd in the world and 4,699^th in The East Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.27 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
