The Holy Empire of Niettzsche is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Jonathan Spock with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 16.012 billion Niettzscheans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tysonia. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Niettzschean economy, worth 218 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 13,623 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jonathan Spock has just been declared ruler of Niettzsche in an international press conference, there is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes, glamping Niettzscheans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and re-education centers are being added to most prisons. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Niettzsche's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is VulcanKlingonism.

Niettzsche is ranked 104,777^th in the world and 3^rd in Nietzsche for Largest Black Market, with 2.29 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
