The Kingdom of Nerdphoria is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Tyrantosaurus Rex with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 17.82 billion Nerdphorians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Undabanam Undabanakta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Nerdphorian economy, worth a remarkable 2,410 trillion Talars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 135,270 Talars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 644,865 per year while the poor average 16,675, a ratio of 38.7 to 1.

Clothing with a scarlet S is popular among repentant body shamers, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, and the Treasury Minister takes anxiety medication every time kids lose their sports kits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nerdphoria's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Polytheism.

Nerdphoria is ranked 145,252nd in the world and 7th in Barbaria for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,641.81 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
