The Republic of Navisa is a small, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 40 million Navisans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Environment and Industry aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The very strong Navisan economy, worth 2.29 trillion Nenes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 57,140 Nenes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 202,259 per year while the poor average 11,655, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Navisa's national animal is the Seal, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Navisa is ranked 228,355^th in the world and 63^rd in Nordwrath for Safest, scoring 45.01 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
