The Nomadic Peoples of NUMO is a huge, safe nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 504 million Numoners enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 58.5%.

The strong NUMOian economy, worth 33.6 trillion Numas 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. 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 66,764 Numas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, attempted suicide is punishable by public hanging, maritime signalling has become tedious since only the NUMOian flag can be displayed, and 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NUMO's national animal is the Vibe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NUMO is ranked 203,085^th in the world and 7,702^nd in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 11.74 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
