The Receivership of Natalisma is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mother with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, devout population of 2.215 billion Natalismans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Midwifetown. The average income tax rate is 56.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Natalisman economy, worth 199 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,152 Imperial Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Yellow Labradorball fields, it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Natalisma, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, and the government forces Natalismans to eat their vegetables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Natalisma's national animal is the Yellow Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Natalisma is ranked 251,915^th in the world and 12^th in Infrastructure for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
