The Wombology of Nantoraka is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Director with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, vat-grown people, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.585 billion Nantorakans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuusrora. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Nantorakan economy, worth a remarkable 2,108 trillion dra'nis 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. 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 impressive 182,015 dra'nis, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is weighing the price of victory following a nuclear strike, the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, and dandruff and athlete's foot are seen as signs of physical beauty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nantoraka's national animal is the African crowned eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Director Is Greatism.

Nantoraka is ranked 24,639th in the world and 1,351st in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,368.07 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
