The Federation of Nahrark is a mid-sized, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 62 million Nahrarkians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.7%.

The powerhouse Nahrarkian economy, worth 4.72 trillion Catals a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 76,109 Catals, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Photos of picturesque coastal buildings are set against a backdrop of smokestacks and ship hulls, black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation, disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, and newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nahrark's national animal is the Donkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nahrark is ranked 306,712^th in the world and 771^st in Carcassonne for Largest Populations, with 62.0 million capita.
