“Global Victory for Communism!”

The Union of Socialist Republics of Natelanda is a massive, safe nation, notable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.361 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Social Welfare, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leninaide. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "Love and peace!" as a way of life, the wreckages of bombed planes that litter Natelanda are highly popular tourist destinations, and Hawk is one of the most popular forenames in Natelanda. Crime is totally unknown. Natelanda's national animal is the Hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Natamark.

Natelanda is ranked 16th in the region and 12,848th in the world for Lowest Crime Rates.
