The Dual Monarchy of the Empire of The Nightmare and Dreams is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Nightmarius von Karol Alexius Bellum with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.173 billion Nightmarians and Dreakovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nightmaria Abyssalias Rex at Drea Cylkar. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Nightmare and Dreamsian economy, worth 423 trillion Crown deluges a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,415 Crown deluges, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has an entire department dedicated to staring at microscopes and writing down letters, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, rural children are told reading's important (for other people), and light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Nightmare and Dreams's national animal is the The Imperial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Cultus Imperialis Alvedias.

The Nightmare and Dreams is ranked 144,017^th in the world and 1,223^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Populations, with 3.17 billion capita.
