The Sizzling Dáxlamic Sands of Nattsbia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Isaac Zhoury with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 6.461 billion Nattsbians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Split on the Sea. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Nattsbian economy, worth 649 trillion Tokens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,571 Tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes, the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife, and construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nattsbia's national animal is the Natterjack toad, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dáxlam.

Nattsbia is ranked 254,412^th in the world and 151^st in Declansburg for Most Primitive, scoring -121.54 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
