Location: Vatican II

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Trinitarian Imperial State of Namabia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Caleb the Third with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 8.785 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 Religion & Spirituality, although the Environment and Education are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Statalupia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73%. 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.

Corporations are either above the law or corrupting it, it's a common sight to see angry commuters with grenade launchers mounted on their vehicles, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, and Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. 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 Imperial Credit.

Namabia is ranked 3rd in Vatican II and 1,722nd in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 67 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
