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

The Federal Republic of Nobeled is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.37 billion Nobeledians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virtuous. The average income tax rate is 37.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Nobeledian economy, worth 160 trillion Duckcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,548 Duckcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, and paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nobeled's national animal is the duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nobeled is ranked 98,223^rd in the world and 2,533^rd in Lazarus for Highest Drug Use, scoring 73.8 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
