“Peace is key”

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

The Azertiliston of NBWS is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Robert Empire with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed population of 2.971 billion Azertilistonas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liston. The average income tax rate is 58.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong NWBSian economy, worth 200 trillion Azertils 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 black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. 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 67,469 Azertils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, Robert Empire is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NBWS's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Azertilistonil.

NBWS is ranked 66,949^th in the world and 3,819^th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 3,987.42 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
