The Federation of Narvatus is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, soft-spoken computers, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.139 billion Narvatusians 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 prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Usorеum. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Narvatusian economy, worth a remarkable 5,523 trillion ouncеs 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 322,265 ouncеs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heated town halls quickly descend into shootouts between politicians and their constituents, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', asthmatics can now suffer the effects of polluting chimneys from further away than ever before, and musicians are often arrested for saying "oh my God". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Narvatus's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is thе holiеst frееdoms.

Narvatus is ranked 290,978th in the world and 83rd in The Free Nations Region for Nicest Citizens, with 0.18 average smiles per day.
