The Sparkling Waters of Namakan is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.264 billion Namakanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kettle Falls. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Namakanian economy, worth 891 trillion Greenstones a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,338 Greenstones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has an entire department dedicated to staring at microscopes and writing down letters, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, the seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire, and the newest shade developed by Namakan's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange'. Crime is totally unknown. Namakan's national animal is the Lake Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Namakan is ranked 2,841^st in the world and 61^st in 10000 Islands for Healthiest Citizens, with 24.73 bananas ingested per day.
