The Union-State of South Nixia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Vozhd Vadim Radagos with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.023 billion South Nixians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kab'va. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient South Nixian economy, worth a remarkable 1,723 trillion Nixians 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an amazing 245,403 Nixians, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, political activists are routinely executed, park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, and every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Nixia's national animal is the Housecat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Personality Cult.

South Nixia is ranked 84,931st in the world and 11th in Badlands Frontier for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,379.45 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
