The Republic of NSNO is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 1.278 billion NSNOians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant NSNOian economy, worth 9.17 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 7,172 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSNO's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NSNO is ranked 171,102^nd in the world and 886^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 276.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
