The Republic of Noob29 is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, devout population of 2.899 billion Noob29ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Noob29ian economy, worth 184 trillion Noobs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 63,740 Noobs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, prison visits increase substantially during election years, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, and the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noob29's national animal is the Noob, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Noob29 is ranked 63,632^nd in the world and 18^th in Noob for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
