The Affiliated Territories of Naustia is a massive, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.826 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, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coronado. The average income tax rate is 77%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Gambling industries.

Recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, anti-government web sites are springing up, euthanasia is legal, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is totally unknown. Naustia's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Naustian Dollar.

Naustia is ranked 1,413th in 10000 Islands and 59,379th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 120 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
