Nuggan is the locally worshipped monotheistic and omnipotent God of Borogravia, but elsewhere he is known as the God of Paperclips, Correct Things in the Right Place in Small Desk Stationery Sets, and Unnecessary Paperwork. He usually sports a fussy little moustache.

His holy writ is the only known Living Testament, into which more material is, if not magically, then religiously added on a regular basis. All believers regularly add pages to the clip-binder Appendices, which then eventually fill with more commandments, usually Abominations unto Nuggan. In recent times, his commandments have become rather nonsensical — among his ever-growing list of Abominations were cats, the colour blue, Dwarfs, oysters, mushrooms, chocolate, garlic, babies, cheese, the smell of beets, and ears. He is also very opposed to the clacks system, as it intereferes with the prayers of the faithful.
