The Matriarchy of Nalur is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lady Okeni Mayansu with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.014 billion Nalurans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yenro. The average income tax rate is 31.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Naluran economy, worth 39.5 trillion Scales a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,912 Scales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, hedge fund managers are diversifying into herbaceous borders, classes at Yenro University get canceled on Brancaland's Independence Day, and pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nalur's national animal is the Kelpie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nalur is ranked 232,554^th in the world and 3,649^th in The East Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 26,654.97 Standard Monetary Units.
