The Socialist Federation of Nicitius is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Woland with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.095 billion Nicitii are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zurbagan. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nicitius economy, worth 949 trillion bids a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 186,416 bids, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

On-duty Air Nicitius flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class, military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and 'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nicitius's national animal is the bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nicitius is ranked 254,793^rd in the world and 9,659^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 15,099.7 Standard Monetary Units.
