The Rogue Nation of The Nopons is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 902 million People-pons enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Argentum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The powerhouse Noponic economy, worth 77.8 trillion Nopon Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 86,265 Nopon Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 315,364 per year while the poor average 16,738, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason, high school band practice is often crashed by technicolor-clad ravers, and celebrity wrestlers thumb their nose at due process. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Nopons's national animal is the Nopon.

The Nopons is ranked 76,644^th in the world and 28^th in England for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,857.3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
