The Republic of NLO-1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 17.943 billion NLO-1ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 23.8%.
The NLO-1ian economy, worth 835 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,576 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.
The government keeps its thumb on the scales of justice, many NLO-1ians are their brothers' keepers, some electoral districts are without a representative as they are stuck with perpetual revotes, and community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NLO-1's national animal is the laughing swordfist, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
NLO-1 is ranked 53,574th in the world and 1st in New Lazarene Order for Safest, scoring 101.69 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
