The Yellow Loving Monarchy of Niemence is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Anton Bauer II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.141 billion Niemceans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Friedlichkeit. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Niemencean economy, worth 97.7 trillion Niemencean Reichtums a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,584 Niemencean Reichtums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, the government has enacted freedom of information, and the standard government reply to any query is "there is no spoon". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Niemence's national animal is the Niemencean eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Niemence is ranked 34,823^rd in the world and 378^th in Europe for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,156.11 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
