The Dictatorship of Cnutnosastan is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 29 million Cnutnosastanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The weak Cnutnosastanian economy, worth 862 billion Cnutnosas Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 29,738 Cnutnosas Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maintaining economic growth is no laughing matter, military spending recently hit a new high, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cnutnosastan's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cnutnosastan is ranked 84,437^th in the world and 831^st in the West Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 16.93 flags saluted per person per day.
