The State of Natanes is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 38.862 billion Natanesians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.9%.

The very strong Natanesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,360 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 60,738 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 547,314 per year while the poor average 830, a ratio of 659 to 1.

Natanes has designated Columbia Heights as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Natanes in an international press conference, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and dealers go from pushing drugs to pushing up daisies. Crime is a problem. Natanes's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Natanes is ranked 33,043^rd in the world and 4^th in Arizona for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 861.26 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
