The Colony of Nivis is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, soft-spoken computers, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 934 million Nivisians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Nivisian economy, worth 27.9 trillion Nias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 29,908 Nias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Nivis City. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nivis's national animal is the Wildcat.
Nivis is ranked 231,505th in the world and 5th in Pelican for Smartest Citizens, with 23.39 quips per hour.
