The National Republic of Nighturia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Emily Riem with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 10.14 billion Nighturians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nightwind. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nighturian economy, worth a remarkable 1,157 trillion Moonia Credits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,175 Moonia Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

President Emily Riem's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Nightwind generates millions of views, child labor has been outlawed, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, and tabloids coo over President Emily Riem's expected child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nighturia's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Celestial Faith.

Nighturia is ranked 31,630^th in the world and 6^th in Greater Alphan Empire for Safest, scoring 108.62 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
