The Social Republic of Niems is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its daily referendums, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.233 billion Niemsians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Korwitz. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Niemsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,160 trillion Niems social credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 113,386 Niems social credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, and vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Niems's national animal is the three headed bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Niems is ranked 142,911th in the world and 3,010th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 191.67653010472 days.
