“When life gives you lemonade, make lemons.”

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

The Federal Republic of Nobreau is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 303 million Nobreauans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Nobreauan economy, worth 23.8 trillion Nobers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 78,620 Nobers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Only the richest get to see out of their windows, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Black Whale, nobody knows why the caged Black Whale sings, and the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nobreau's national animal is the Black Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nobreau is ranked 98,384^th in the world and 9^th in The Imperial Union of Order States for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
