The Commonwealth of Non Sequitur is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by a well worn sock with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.397 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, outspoken government prioritizes Environment, with Education, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the tiny hut. The average income tax rate is 24.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Non Sequiturian economy, worth 762 trillion coconuts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,298 coconuts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The Non Sequiturian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, gay couples have to travel to Brancaland to find a church that will actually let them wed, and armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough. 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 47,124th in the world and 2nd in The Potato Alliance for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,584.98 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
