The Imperial State of Nulkia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Felix Nulkia with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 14.714 billion Nulkians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felixcity. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nulkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,349 trillion Sovereigns a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,730 Sovereigns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ample hospital parking is half-filled by the luxury cars of hospital managers, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, astronauts take one small step for Nulkia and one giant step backward from confrontation, and savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nulkia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nulkianism.

Nulkia is ranked 251,871^st in the world and 244^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Primitive, scoring -157.02 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
