The Democratic Republic of Nation of Nuts is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 258 million Nutters 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 37.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nation of Nutsian economy, worth 10.3 trillion Nut Dollars a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,872 Nut Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nocturnal light pollution is mostly blue, doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, Leader has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nation of Nuts's national animal is the Coo Coo Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nation of Nuts is ranked 251,500^th in the world and 43^rd in The Embassy for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -31.62 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
