The United States of Nomaris is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Tretan Blacher with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed population of 2.691 billion Nomarisians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Steror. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nomarisian economy, worth 770 trillion Onings 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. 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 286,174 Onings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nomaris isn't what it used to be, boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, and it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nomaris's national animal is the The Magnificent Trerijost, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Voihin.

Nomaris is ranked 283,177^th in the world and 25^th in Absolution for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.52 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
