The Rogue Nation of Nightcityy is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 438 million Nightcityyians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The all-consuming Nightcityyian economy, worth 49.6 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 113,287 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 675,483 per year while the poor average 8,679, a ratio of 77.8 to 1.

It is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts, knock-knock jokes regularly get removed from websites for being too edgy, and the dwindling faithful in the nation make expensive pilgrimages to the remaining places of worship. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nightcityy's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nightcityy is ranked 153,562nd in the world and 1,821st in the Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 29.76 quips per hour.
