The Free Land of The Nameless Mist is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ouroboros with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 8.872 billion Mistians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Myskiblas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Mistian economy, worth a remarkable 1,405 trillion Stars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 158,384 Stars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 612,481 per year while the poor average 28,104, a ratio of 21.8 to 1.

Recreational drug businesses are regularly pruned if they grow above the maximum legal size, foreign despots proudly bandstand on Mistian airwaves, the nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque, and a Lazarus Tourist Association survey has rated The Nameless Mist #1 for number twos. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Nameless Mist's national animal is the Snake, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Nameless Mist is ranked 190,238th in the world and 7,812th in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 481.05 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
