The Federation of Notuan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, devout population of 4.168 billion Notuans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 35.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Notuan economy, worth 115 trillion notus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,762 notus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, the Department of Health is snowed under by requests for crisper ciabatta and tenderer tagliatelle, organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous, and the purgative quality of Notuan cuisine is known across the globe. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Notuan's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Notuan is ranked 138,551^st in the world and 3,504^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,368.65 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
