The Cossack Hetmanate of Nikolagrad is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sergei Taboritskovich with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, avowedly heterosexual populace, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1 billion Nikolagradans 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 large, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Nikolagrad. The average income tax rate is 68.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Nikolagradian economy, worth 122 trillion Nikolagrad Rubles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,914 Nikolagrad Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, all alcohol is banned, anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, and the newest East Lebatuckese coins have "long live East Lebatuck" on heads and "death to Nikolagrad" on tails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nikolagrad's national animal is the Amur Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nikolagrad is ranked 57,347th in the world and 73rd in Sophia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 672.78 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
