The Republic of Notala is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 100 million Notalans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The strong Notalan economy, worth 6.32 trillion Notalan coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 63,171 Notalan coins, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Notala's national animal is the Turtle, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Notala is ranked 300,973^rd in the world and 41^st in The Colonies of Latin America for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -4.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
