The Dominion of Nhoor is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by PM Orumha Cany with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.8 billion Nhoor are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sārruc. The average income tax rate is 18.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nhoor economy, worth a remarkable 2,778 trillion qhontirrācs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 235,438 qhontirrācs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

It takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, fat-shaming is now public policy, unemployed school bus drivers photobomb virtual classroom meetings, and body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nhoor's national animal is the dzhanoots, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Duvactism.

Nhoor is ranked 289,936th in the world and 194th in The Western Isles for Safest, scoring 3.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
