The United States of Nabradia is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its digital currency, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 260 million Nabradians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elysion. The average income tax rate is 44.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Nabradian economy, worth 25.4 trillion Nabradia Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 97,506 Nabradia Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, space shuttles are lying silent on the runway till the Space Agency can work out how to fit a creche and a meditation room into their next spacecraft, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, and citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nabradia's national animal is the Hippocamp, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nabradia is ranked 265,637^th in the world and 1,143^rd in Europeia for Most Primitive, scoring -216.04 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
