The Crypto Industrial Complex of New Nator is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Neptune with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, vat-grown people, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 1.723 billion Natorians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NATOR-ISS. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.7%.

The frighteningly efficient New Natorian economy, worth 264 trillion $BTCs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 153,679 $BTCs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 750,449 per year while the poor average 18,094, a ratio of 41.5 to 1.

Lending firms are subject to strict government regulations, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, tourists visit New Nator to mass-moon New Natorian politicians, and only a minority of the population can actually vote at elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Nator's national animal is the Mountain Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Objectivism.

New Nator is ranked 45,957^th in the world and 162^nd in Europe for Largest Black Market, with 24.8 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
