The Republic of The Nits is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its public floggings, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 16.935 billion Nitsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Nitsla. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Nitsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,493 trillion Rokdas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,217 Rokdas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

People stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, one year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for Leader's office, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and students abandon classrooms for online education. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Nits's national animal is the Virus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Nits is ranked 286,577^th in the world and 10,987^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 4,269.31 Standard Monetary Units.
