The Federation of Narvatus is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 9.074 billion Narvatusians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Usoreum. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Narvatusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,577 trillion ounces a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 173,823 ounces, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Water fights now end with thousands dead, exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, and grandparents tell young ones tales of the good old days when people had cake on their birthday. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Narvatus's national animal is the common housecat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the holiest freedoms.

Narvatus is ranked 184,878^th in the world and 384^th in The Free Nations Region for Most Primitive, scoring -207.76 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
