Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Anticipated Perfection of N00biana is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.759 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Major internet servers have acquired citizenship and are voting in national elections, manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job, billions of credits are being blown on orbital weapons development, and the military has had to quell a recent insurrection by uninsured revolutionaries. Crime is pervasive. N00biana's national animal is the sabre toothed lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the credit.

N00biana is ranked 19th in Antarctic Oasis and 6,555th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
