The Empire of NIGHTRAY is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Kai Nightray with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.116 billion Elestrians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nightgard. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Elestrian economy, worth 622 trillion Ducals 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 black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 121,688 Ducals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

All telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', war vets look after war animals, farting etiquette is taught in schools, and betting pennies on games of Go Fish is considered deviant. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NIGHTRAY's national animal is the Alicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Celestial Vision.

NIGHTRAY is ranked 263,276th in the world and 8,954th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 13.54535244208 days.
