The Republic of Nyohhira is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 596 million Nyohhirans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 65.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Nyohhiran economy, worth 51.4 trillion Lumiones a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,161 Lumiones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Devotion to God is only skin-deep, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, the government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens, and the government denies any involvement in the release of the Hot Load computer virus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nyohhira's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nyohhira is ranked 166,080th in the world and 11th in Holo for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,333.12 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
