Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Notronkia is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, flagrant waste-dumping, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.198 billion Notronkians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 67.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Notronkian economy, worth 543 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,825 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, international organisations everywhere are united in their condemnation of the nation's zombified military (Notronkia has found 3 easter eggs), and the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Notronkia's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Notronkia is ranked 13,440^th in the world and 837^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
