The Technocracy of Nagharis is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Veldar with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.843 billion Nagharisians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tor Naghar. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nagharisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,549 trillion Crescents a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,934 Crescents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, the NHS is snowed under by requests for crisper ciabatta and tenderer tagliatelle, vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes, and father-son fishing trips have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nagharis's national animal is the Puffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.

Nagharis is ranked 140,999th in the world and 30th in Scandinavia for Most Stationary, with 203.15227970468 days.
