The United States of Nicorado is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 181 million Nicoradoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.2%.

The strong Nicoradoan economy, worth 12.5 trillion limbos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 68,975 limbos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, Nicoradoan-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways, museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nicorado's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nicorado is ranked 226,067^th in the world and 2,895^th in the West Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -5.48 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
