	Science Fair Projects - Nuggan
		She may or may not be the same person as the Sea Queen, who appears in Small Gods.
		Nuggan is the locally worshipped monotheistic and omnipotent god of Borogravia, but elsewhere he is in charge of paperclips and unnecessary paperwork.
		By the time of Monstrous Regiment, his commandments were becoming rather nonsensical- among his ever-growing list of Abominations were cats, the colour blue, Dwarfs, oysters, babies, cheese, the smell of beets, and ears.

	Science Fair Projects - Monstrous Regiment (novel)
		Published in 2003 as a part of his Discworld series, his novel Monstrous Regiment takes its name form the misogynist 16th century tract by John Knox, the full title of which is The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women.
		The story is primarily based in Borogravia, a highly conservative country whose people live according to the increasingly psychotic decrees of its favored deity, Nuggan, who is believed dead.
		The uncertain whereabouts of Nuggan leads the inhabitants of Borogravia to deify their Duchess, to whom they pray instead.

	Station Information - Monstrous Regiment
		The country's greatest problem is their principal divinity, Nuggan, whose Living Testament is contained in a ring binder to keep up with the ever-expanding list of Abominations, which include chocolate, cats, the color blue, and...ears.
		Borogravians are at war entirely due to their devotion to Nuggan, a being either senile or dead, leaving the country bewildered and paralyzed by his increasingly absurd demands.
		But Polly soon finds even more on her plate than a theoretically outraged god: the troop is perpetually under assault by the Prince of Zlobenia's forces for having disgraced him in public, while being secretly-if ineffectually-aided by Samuel Vimes and William de Worde.

	Chocolate - Discworld & Pratchett Wiki
		Nuggan, the state god of Borogravia, is very serious about setting prohibitions.
		Nuggan thinks that a god ought to prohibit things that people truly want, and so the prohibition has real effect on people's lives.
		This makes Borogravian citizens rather angry when finally they taste garlic and/or chocolate and find how tasty it is. For some time, devout and stern worshippers of Nuggan, the Nugganites, have been policing their villages to punish people who illegally possess chocolate.

	Hattrick - Nuggan - Eintract Atwell
		After 71 minutes of game time, Sherman Barratt had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but AntÃ³nio QueirÃ³s was in the right place and tipped the ball to a corner.
		Naotake Kuwabara was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Nuggan's Chregi Huwyler had to come off the bench.
		Nuggan, bringing their ball possession to 53 percent, dominated the battle.

	Laughs carry the day in Ankh-Morpork Chicago Sun-Times - Find Articles
		A bargain-basement Jehovah with extremely picky taste, Nuggan is the Big Guy in Borogravia, a duchy -- the word suggests how old-school the place is -- barely clinging to its existence on the cultural and political fringes of Discworld.
		Nuggan and his prohibitions are causing a world of trouble, especially for Borogravians who like cats, garlic or the color blue.
		Committing several Abominations against Nuggan, Polly decides to get dolled up like a man and join the army to learn the fate of her sweet but not very bright brother, Paul.

		The book is set in Borogravia, a country that is in dire straits because the populace worships the dying god Nuggan, who in his death throes has decreed (among other things) that crop rotation, women wearing men's clothes and doing men's work, the color blue, chocolate, and sneezing are all Abominations.
		In the midst of a war started by a Borogravian assault on the communication system of Ankh-Morpork (it was an Abomination unto Nuggan), Polly Perks decides to go into the army in an effort to find her brother Paul, who is missing in action.
		They disable a Clacks tower (one of the Abominations unto Nuggan) and again run into the reporter from Ankh-Morpork, who tells them that they are losing the war, that they will be slaughtered if they go to the front, and that they should stop being so stubborn.

	SF REVIEWS.NET: Monstrous Regiment / Terry Pratchett
		Borogravia's state religion is the worship of Nuggan, a god with an annoying habit of adding to his list of Abominations on an almost weekly basis (recent additions: rocks and accordion players).
		Polly is afraid of losing the family business once she comes of age, as the idea of women owning businesses is one of Nuggan's many Abominations.
		Each member of the regiment has a story, some of them funny, some quite sad, and as their seemingly futile march continues, what keeps them together is that growing bond soldiers in the field develop.

		She'd learned to read and write after a fashion because the inn was big and it was a business and things had to be tallied and recorded.
		Her mother had taught her to read, which was acceptable to Nuggan, and her father made sure that she learned how to write, which was not.
		A woman who could write was an Abomination Unto Nuggan, according to Father Jupe; anything she wrote would by definition be a lie.

	Tufts Daily - No laughs for Monstrous Regiment
		It is set in the country of Borogravia, where the national pastime of waving to one's sons as they leave for war has only declined in popularity because of the drop in the number of qualified males available to fight.
		It is a place where the great god Nuggan has declared everything from women-owned businesses to onion farming to be an Abomination and therefore outlawed.
		Clearly it is not the author's talent that is lacking here, but rather the convoluted story and poor choice of subject matter that make the novel seem so stale.

	The View from the Foothills: Monstrous Regiment, by
		And the leading nations of the Discworld have paid little attention, for Borogravia and its neighbors are far-off, backwards, and dull.
		And then Nuggan, the god worshipped by the Borogravians, decrees that the line of semaphore towers built by Ankh-Morpork on the border between Borogravia and Zlobenia are an Abomination Unto Nuggan--and they are torn down.
		But it's an Abomination Unto Nuggan for a woman to own property, so if Paul dies in battle the inn will pass to a distant cousin.

	Bookreporter.com - MONSTROUS REGIMENT by Terry Pratchett
		She tends her father's bar and understands the business, but in Borogravia --- ruled by the tyrannical god Nuggan and his human counterpart, The Duchess --- no woman can actually operate a business because that too is an Abomination Unto Nuggan.
		The trouble is that her brother Paul, the only legal heir to the lucrative pub, is off to the wars with neighboring Ankh-Morpork, who has been captured or is perhaps dead, so Polly's future looks rather bleak.
		Paul is a gentle soul by nature, an artist who of course can't practice his craft due to Nugganism and has no head for business.

	Monstrous Regiment
		Nuggan is the official god of Borogravians, though he is somewhat inconsistent about the do's and don'ts of his followers.
		For instance, babies and the color blue have recently been added to the list of Abominations to Nuggan, though the sky is blue and babies are necessary to perpetuate the population of believers.
		Thus all but the diehard Nugganites just pray to their Duchess, who sits on the throne of Borogravia.

		Worshipping the god Nuggan, they follow – or at least try to follow – his laws, which basically consists of avoiding a lot of Abominations unto Nuggan.
		The trouble is, there’s a hell of a lot of these, and many of them are stupid – for example, the colour blue is an abomination unto Nuggan.
		The story revolves mainly around Polly, who pretends to be a boy in order to join the army and try to rescue her brother Paul (or at least find out if he’s still alive), who enlisted of some time ago.

	Rambles: Terry Pratchett, Monstrous Regiment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The population of the tiny country of Borogravia worship the god Nuggan, a rather capricious god who tends to declare Abominations randomly; in Borogravia, devout worshippers avoid such Abominations unto Nuggan as oysters, cats and jigsaw puzzles, and guiltily try to get round the concepts of babies and the color blue.
		Paul from the army, or at least find out whether he's dead or alive, her family could lose their prosperous inn, the Duchess, should her father die without a male heir, a woman operating a business being an Abomination unto you-know-who.
		The characters are terrific: Polly, her co-soldiers, Sergeant Jackrum, the somewhat feckless "rupert" Lt. Blouse come alive in vivid deft descriptions and the humor is laugh-out-loud priceless.

		Polly Perkins has a dilemma...her homeland of Borogravia is at war (again) with the neighboring country of Zlobenia, a war that has taken away all the young men of the town, including her brother Paul.
		Now, since the national deity Nuggan hath declared a woman writing or running an establishment an abomination (along with crop rotation, oysters and the color blue), she needs to go and get her brother back so that he can inherit the Duchess and keep it in the family.
		So she decides to commit another abomination...she slices off all her hair and dresses up as a boy and goes off to join the army in the hopes of finding Paul.

	A Blithe Spirit - Books - Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
		The laughs are still there in abundance, but instead of ideas thrown in willy nilly for comic effect they're now much more structured and used to more emotional effect.
		In this story we meet Polly Perks, who is a woman living under the oppressive regime of The Duchess, in a country (Borogravia) run at the whim of Nuggan, a tetchy God who takes offence at the slightest thing.
		As one of my favourite Discworld characters I was thrilled, not expecting his appearance, and then he went away never to be seen again.
