The State of Niende is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 16.458 billion Niendeans 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. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 47.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Niendean economy, worth 144 trillion betales 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 black market in Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, Trout Farming, and Retail. 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 8,800 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Niende has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Niende in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Niende's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Niende is ranked 46,227th in the world and 6th in Indianapolis for Most Stationary, with 943.30341017432 days.
