The People's Republic of NEW NINGERIA is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 148 million NINGERIANS 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 large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The NEW NINGERIAian economy, worth 6.35 trillion NINGERIAN DOLLARS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,892 NINGERIAN DOLLARS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Statue-sitting has replaced the stake-out as the dullest form of police duty, students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-NINGERIAN DOLLAR treacle machine, and the letters L, G, and B must never be grouped together. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NEW NINGERIA's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NEW NINGERIA is ranked 18,356^th in the world and 18^th in KAISERREICH for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,243.38 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
