Location: The Alliance of Dictators

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Chaotic Pocket Dimension of Naggoroth is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Discord with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, cynical population of 1.829 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Naggoroth. The average income tax rate is 97%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", the nation is reliant on the principle of mutually assured destruction to maintain its security, military spending recently hit a new high, and school uniforms are compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Naggoroth's national animal is the Cotton Candy Cloud, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is The Magnificent Rhetoric of Discord, and its currency is the Twisted Bit.

Naggoroth is ranked 24th in The Alliance of Dictators and 17,824th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 48 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
