The Republic of Nickyuwu 74 is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 144 million Nickyuwu 74ians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 34.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Nickyuwu 74ian economy, worth 2.58 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 17,940 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, an underground group of geologists hides new discoveries to protect them from being destroyed in the name of safety, boys are forced to pair off for the school disco slow dance as the girls are all staying at home, and a new religious movement claims that people's souls are stored in phosphorus. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nickyuwu 74's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nickyuwu 74 is ranked 77,701^st in the world and 86^th in Shiseballs for Safest, scoring 91.79 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
