The Megacorporate HegemonyŽ of Nargorthia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Grand-CEOŽ Dzekyerkovolayetovich with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 19.025 billion Nargorthians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Szhchbuynatroitzrarersk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Nargorthian economy, worth a remarkable 4,890 trillion colds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 257,064 colds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,485,114 per year while the poor average 21,230, a ratio of 70.0 to 1.

Bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in, pet owners want to know why their animals keep smiling at them, tumbleweeds are seen blowing through the nation's airspace, and looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Nargorthia's national animal is the corporate shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nargorthia is ranked 4,282nd in the world and 271st in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 246.56 kickbacks per hour.
