The Volcanic Islands of Nistriabar is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Prime Alderman with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.345 billion Nistrians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mako. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Nistriabarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,448 trillion Nistis a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 236,705 Nistis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, The Prime Alderman's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, and criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nistriabar's national animal is the White Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Nistriabar is ranked 298,358^th in the world and 5,547^th in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 7,101.17 Standard Monetary Units.
