The Neo-Babylonian Empire of Nabua is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Nebuchadnezzar IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.381 billion Nabuan Babylonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babylon. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Nabuan Babylonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,994 trillion cyber-shekels a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 405,643 cyber-shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities are suffering under water rationing, rumor has it that Nebuchadnezzar IV has won three lotteries in a row, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Nabua, and small children are frequently chased by rehabilitated pitbulls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nabua's national animal is the lamassu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of Nabu.

Nabua is ranked 3,250th in the world and 4th in Greater Brutesia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 128.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
