Both the Rebellion and the Collapse hit Nagiida harshly. In addition to military attack, the already impoverished economy of the overpopulated world suffered badly when local Hortalez et Cie's managers decided to flee the world to relocate the corporation assets in the Tanny Project, in 1124. The situation exploded when thousand of natives tried to seize control of the corporation starships that were taking its employees out of the planet. In a few weeks, corporation mercenaries were fighting both the populace and the local army. When Hortalez et Cie's personnel finally was evacuated, the planet was left in complete chaos.
Hard Times did nothing to help the world's economy. When the Virus arrived, the planet population had already suffered a spectacular decrease, with hundreds of millions of people dying from starvation, disease, or in petty civil wars. Virus finished the job. From the pre-Rebellion population figure of 80,000 millions, only 3,000 millions survived in 1131. Seventy years later, population recovery has lead to the current 5,000 millions figure.
The planet is heavily balkanized, with 6 major nations and around twenty minor ones. Conflicts and even open warfare among them is not unusual, as no supranational government exists. The major nations are:
Nagiishan League: A loose alliance of cities and noble states with feudal
structure.
| Nation | Pop.(millions) | Gov. | Law | TL |
| Nagiishan League | 1,000 | 5 | 6 | 9 |
| Dekaan Republic | 700 | 9 | A | B |
| Freedom Area | 500 | D | C | 5 |
| Gemdurkhaagash District | 300 | B | 9 | 9 |
| Kishnaar City-State | 200 | 4 | 4 | 9 |
| Zunarsha Corporation | 200 | 1 | 3 | B |
| Rest (aggregate) | 2,500 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
| TOTAL (aggregate) | 5,400 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
The Geonee Confederation has contacted Nagiida, but most of the Vilani governments actively oppose any contact. A Geonee consulate exists within Zunarsha's territory, but the Dekaan Republic has forbidden all Geonee to enter its territory.
