Location: Vatican II

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Christian Republic of Namabia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Caleb the Third with a fair hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 9.389 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Religion & Spirituality, although the Environment and Education are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antiochia. The average income tax rate is 74%. 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.

Politicians are to be found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, motels cater primarily to adulterers, the richest citizens live in sheltered private citadels, and crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is pervasive. Namabia's national animal is the Dove, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Non-Denominational Christian, and its currency is the Namabian Coin.

Namabia is ranked 13th in Vatican II and 52,787th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 8 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
