The Constitutional Republic of One Nicholas is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 196 million Dabedabas are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure. If you are coming from another country and want to get your citizenship you have to be able to swim in a shark cage with sharks all around you for 15 minutes. Also, if you are born in the country you have to do the same thing when you turn 16. If you don't pass you get sent out to sea on a raft all by yourself. Once you do this you can vote, work, become part of the government and own a business. When you turn 65 you are given 2 million dollars to buy a new home or do whatever you want with it.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.3%. The powerhouse the One Nicholas economy, worth 16.1 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Car Retail, and Fishing Rod Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,887 bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest. One Nicholas is Trading Partners with Bananenboot, Allies with West Won, and Military Rivals with Sentinels. One Nicholas trades it Uranium and Fishing Rods for Bananenboot's gold and bananas. One Nicholas is allied with West Won because if anyone tries to conquer them, they form a super military that is unstoppable. Lastly, One Nicholas is Military Rivals with Sentinels because they have taken uranium from them and have formed a super nuclear bomb that can destroy any country.
Factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, frequent broken zippers have resulted in safety pins making a fashion comeback, there are six more weeks of winter if a northerner sees her shadow, and beaches are empty as the shark population multiplies exponentially. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. For example, if the military soldier count gets below 50,000 a draft will be held of any male over 16 until the number of soldiers has reached at least 100,000. One Nicholas' national animals is the Shark.
