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 devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 12.009 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 is mainly concerned with 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.

Kids laugh off vandalism and arson as "just fun", the new hit series "Naivetry's Got Trauma" has corporate executives fleeing the country, students cut up leftover tale and Equiliants during Arts and Crafts, and emergency room admissions for 'stampede injuries' have skyrocketed since the introduction of weekly Sabbath Eve sales. 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 10th in Equilism and 1,464th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 75 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
