The Communist Republics of New Natica is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kheper-Akh Menkhar IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.356 billion natiquenses are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Menkharograd. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient naticano economy, worth 995 trillion Natiquese rubles 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. 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 amazing 296,721 Natiquese rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, government workers are more efficient and more unhappy than ever, and a glyph of Kheper-Akh Menkhar IV is worth a thousand letters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Natica's national animal is the Falcon-Natych, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Natica is ranked 6,548^th in the world and 2^nd in The Union of the Worlds Nations for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,288.99 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
