The Dictatorship of Nintenduu 64 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.727 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Arms Manufacturing.
All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Nintenduu 64's national animal is the Terra Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Nintenduu 64 has a number of national heroes which include Shuya Nanahara and Shiori Kitano, Dictator Kitano's daughter, who protected the coastal fortress from IKBTY troops who were trying to capture the leader of the Wild Seven. In honour of Shuya Nanahara the mountains in the north were named Shuya mountains and the Capital City was renamed to Nanahara Village, in which a large statue of him being protected by Shiori Kitano was built. In honour of Shiori Kitano, a modern hospital with 'cutting edge' equipment was created in West Nanahara Village. Once a year the citizens of Nintenduu 64 pay great respect to the pair with a march to the fortress in the morning and a large festival celebrating the pair in the evening. Recently there have been threats of turnip bombing some buildings in Nintenduu 64 to counter act these bombs the goverment have built defences and are currently asking all farmers to give the government all there manure to use against any suppliers and attackers.
Nintenduu 64 has one of the most successful national football teams in The Spectrum.

Betting and Controversy
The Nintenduu 64 government placed two safety bets on their entry to the 2007 competition. The first was a bet that Lesbana would recieve a total of zero points, with an estimated pay out of 10,000,000 Grants. This was not won, as the group recieved one point overall. The second was a wager that Lesbana would finish in last place, with an estimated payout of 50,000,000 Grants. When news of this bet arose (after the competition had ended), it was suspected to be government propaganda and believed that the bet was, in actuality, non-existant, as the previous bet was so similar (if Nintenduu finished with zero points, it would almost certainly leave the group in last place). However, the Nintendian government released a statement, stating that the second bet was '..a secret kept by only the highest ranking government members', in order for the contest to remain fair and to prevent bias. The wider community remained nonetheless skeptical.
