The NB of NB is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.791 billion NBians 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, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NBian economy, worth a remarkable 1,689 trillion Golds a year, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,224 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, and the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NB's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NB is ranked 120,430^th in the world and 5,125^th in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,608 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
