The Armed Republic of The Nightshadows is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Astral Nightshadow with an iron fist, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, vat-grown people, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.676 billion Nightshadows 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, socially-minded, 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 The Shadowkeep. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.2%.

The powerhouse Nightshadowian economy, worth 539 trillion Shadeses 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. 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 146,628 Shadeses, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic tickets are punishable by 9000 push-ups, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Nightshadows's national animal is the Nightwolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Cult of Night.

The Nightshadows is ranked 158,667th in the world and 1st in Legion of the Night for Most Stationary, with 129.53962542792 days.
