The Never-ending Reign of The Nowhere King is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Nowhere King with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, zero percent divorce rate, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.47 billion Horrible people are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Moon District. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Horrible economy, worth 741 trillion keys 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. 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 impressive 165,898 keys, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, bombs are permitted on planes for the 'security of the passengers', and when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Nowhere King's national animal is the Blackbuck, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nocturnism.
The Nowhere King is ranked 265,755th in the world and 52nd in The Bar on the corner of every region for Safest, scoring 12.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
