Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Revolutionary Force of Nak nak is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by The Allmighty Nak Nak with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 20.446 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.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Social Equality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NakNakdam. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

The streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, the Great Nak nak Desert is reputedly the most uninhabitable place in the region, conscientious objectors are hanged as traitors, and the government's only official statement on the burning down of NakNakdam was that 'they shouldn't have been so careless'. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Nak nak's national animal is the Elvis, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is NakNakism, and its currency is the Storm.

Nak nak is ranked 3rd in Wysteria and 5th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 40 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
