The Empire of Niradans is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Victoria Adarin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.932 billion Niradansians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Immortalis. The average income tax rate is 61.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Niradansian economy, worth 136 trillion Joys 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. 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 70,752 Joys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', statue-sitting has replaced the stake-out as the dullest form of police duty, and parents are relieved they no longer need to help with their kids' algebra homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Niradans's national animal is the Antilope, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lisfe.

Niradans is ranked 13,346^th in the world and 538^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 5,471.64 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
