The Ner'Luhaiko of Nazgurth is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 4.716 billion Nazguls are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 48.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Morguldur economy, worth 45.1 trillion dark rubledollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,555 dark rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, organ donation is compulsory, Harry Potter books are banned, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nazgurth's national animal is the evil hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nazgurth is ranked 80,869th in the world and 994th in Hispano Germanic Alliance for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,539.39 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
