The Dominion of Nuwisha is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord Ptah with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ban on automobiles, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.913 billion Nuwishans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Nuwishan economy, worth a remarkable 2,427 trillion Shins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 187,988 Shins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats devote many man-hours to trying to measure unquantifiables, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Nuwisha, and the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nuwisha's national animal is the Coyote, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nuwisha is ranked 281,209^th in the world and 10,562^nd in Osiris for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -11.24 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
