The Emirate of Noirestan is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Emir Edouard III with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 913 million Noirestanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mirageabad. The average income tax rate is 50.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Noirestanian economy, worth 67.4 trillion elis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,807 elis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Emir Edouard III affectionately nicknames supporters by number, the nation's biggest export is stupidity, one does not simply walk into the tundra, and the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noirestan's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Noirestan is ranked 203,974^th in the world and 25^th in The Union of Natiocratic States for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
