The Rogue Nation of Nocoins is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Great Billfold with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.618 billion Cents-less Citizens are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Spirituality and Environment are also considered important, while Education and Healthcare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the National Mint. The average income tax rate is 51.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nocoinsian economy, worth a remarkable 3,234 trillion liars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration. 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 an impressive 194,664 liars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Military doctrine says not to open fire until you see the "beady little eyes" of Johnny Foreigner, Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year, songs of praise to Great Billfold are filled with coded messages from the resistance, and graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nocoins's national animal is the Dragon Turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nocoins is ranked 40,264^th in the world and 731^st in The East Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,656.56 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
