The Community of Noda Nation is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 530 million Noda Nationians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry, Spirituality, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The very strong Noda Nationian economy, worth 40.4 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 76,310 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 497,216 per year while the poor average 4,641, a ratio of 107 to 1.

Dogs are encouraged to confront the psychodynamic roots of their desire to be "good boys", school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, government solves problems by tossing money at the nearest geek, and safe drinking water is considered a luxury. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Noda Nation's national animal is the Knoda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Noda Nation is ranked 88,591st in the world and 3rd in Altie for Most Patriotic, with 16.35 flags saluted per person per day.
