The Democratic States of Navokan is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The democratic population of 916 million Navokanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Navokanian economy, worth 31.6 trillion silaems a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,523 silaems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, Navokan has designated Navokan City as its capital city, and back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Navokan's national animal is the dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Navokan is ranked 246,257^th in the world and 269^th in Aesica for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
