The Empire of Nyrian is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Quinton I Hollard with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.864 billion Nyrianians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olympia. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nyrianian economy, worth a remarkable 1,814 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,858 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A passport is literally priceless, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, and convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nyrian's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nyrian is ranked 8,343^rd in the world and 15^th in United Kingdom for Most Secular, with 96.78 Atheism Rate.
