Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The People's Equanimous Republic of Naivetry is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Katerina Ariadakou with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 12.619 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Social Equality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arteamaes. The average income tax rate is 84%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Children are raised bilingual from an early age, airport security is provided by private companies, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime is totally unknown. Naivetry's national animal is the mallard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the tale and Equiliant.

Naivetry is ranked 61st in Equilism and 68,020th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
