The Colony of Nubibia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Arthur and King Ouranos with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and pith helmet sales. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.555 billion Nubibians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nubibia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The all-consuming Nubibian economy, worth 150 trillion Nubibian pilas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 97,011 Nubibian pilas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 384,029 per year while the poor average 16,570, a ratio of 23.2 to 1.

Artists attempt to convince the Hardship Fund that their unmade bed is a masterpiece, elderly tribespeople die in bed surrounded by loved ones and linguists, Nubibia's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, and the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nubibia's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Nubibia is ranked 67,872nd in the world and 8th in Sky Haven for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 15,894.1 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
