The Archduchy of Nizhny Volga is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Archduke Ivan IX with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, strictly enforced bedtime, and frequent executions.

State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,447 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, nephews and nieces of the monarch resort to begging from relatives in palace halls, and stockbrokers dream of getting rich by writing textbooks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.
