The Commonwealth of Non Sequitur is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by a well worn sock with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.515 billion Non Sequiturians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Environment, with Education, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the tiny hut. The average income tax rate is 32.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Non Sequiturian economy, worth 812 trillion coconuts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,550 coconuts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Non Sequiturian politicians, marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Non Sequitur's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Non Sequitur is ranked 269,470th in the world and 13th in The Potato Alliance for Most Secular, with 11.48 Atheism Rate.
