The Ayalat of Nociav is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Zarbh with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, infamous sell-swords, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.081 billion Nocis are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kiyab. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Noci economy, worth 923 trillion Zars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 226,286 Zars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,077,560 per year while the poor average 2,576, a ratio of 806 to 1.

Corruption is a game of two halves, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, and male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness'. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nociav's national animal is the Argha, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Avaska.

Nociav is ranked 1,673^rd in the world and 33^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 8,822.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
