The Socialist Republic of Nipperland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jerry Sanders with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.636 billion Nipperlandis 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Diego. The average income tax rate is 55.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Nipperlandi economy, worth 94.5 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 57,790 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, the new electoral law has been nicknamed 'Jim Horse', a proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII', and State Atheism has been named as Nipperland's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nipperland's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Nipperland is ranked 65,288^th in the world and 3^rd in The Pacific Coast for Safest, scoring 97.97 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
