The Armed Republic of Namwenian Defense Union is a huge, safe nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate population of 400 million Namwenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Onaw. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Namwenian economy, worth 27.7 trillion Curts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 69,284 Curts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, and it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Namwenian Defense Union's national animal is the Manatee, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Namwenian Defense Union is ranked 36,677^th in the world and 1^st in Trinitarian Defense Union for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 190.49 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
