The Socialist Barangays of Nangka is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Nangka Co-Presidency with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.77 billion Nangkans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Elena Poblacion. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nangkan economy, worth a remarkable 1,208 trillion Nangkan pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 112,182 Nangkan pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Nangkan peso treacle machine, and a sudden shout of "surprise!" does not herald a party for teachers. Crime is totally unknown. Nangka's national animal is the Nangka Best Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of the Worker.

Nangka is ranked 269,838^th in the world and 238^th in Refugia for Most Patriotic, with 0.78 flags saluted per person per day.
