Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Nakchivan is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 191 million Nakchivanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 49.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Nakchivanian economy, worth 1.13 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 5,890 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the nation wears its high incidence of chromosomal diseases as a badge of pride, the election for Leader's office's janitor is heating up, and the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nakchivan's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nakchivan is ranked 74,346^th in the world and 85^th in Libertarian Socialist Confederation for Best Weather, with 108 Meters Of Sunlight.
