Meanwhile, Nuggan’s physical whereabouts are unknown.
He outlaws such things as redheads, chocolate, the color blue, children, and babies. Lately, Nuggan’s decrees have grown increasingly strange however, as people continue to follow him, his hold over them only increases, a feature of the universe of Discworld. Most of Monstrous Regiment occurs within the limits of the conservative state of Borogravia. The novel, like the whole Discworld series, is known for its humorous blend of contemporary political mistakes and logical fallacies within the world of fantasy, showing how systems of belief can cause civilizations to teeter into catastrophe. Borogravia’s stubborn leadership fails to acknowledge its problems, which leads the story’s protagonist, Polly Perks, to join a political resistance.
Nuggan dictates, by divine rule, the preferences of Borogravia’s people, maintaining a list of forbidden things called the “Abominations Unto Nuggan.” Nuggan’s trivial, always-shifting preferences impoverish the country, throwing it into conflict with its neighbors, who follow different gods. The thirty-first book in an extended series, Discworld, English author Terry Pratchett’s fantasy novel Monstrous Regiment (2003) concerns the politically unstable country Borogravia which teeters on the edge of collapse due to its people’s obsession with a capricious god called Nuggan.
