The United States of Nabradia is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 209 million Nabradians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Nabradian economy, worth 20.9 trillion Nabradia Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,924 Nabradia Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

There is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, citizens need to demonstrate a complete set of dental records to throw five bucks in a hobo's hat, the Farmer's Almanac is the most popular college textbook, and the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Nabradia's national animal is the Hippocamp, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nabradia is ranked 65,389^th in the world and 324^th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
