Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Maintained by South Malaysia of Ness Snorlaxia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mega Mindy with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 18.654 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 Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fourside. The average income tax rate is 26%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Book Publishing and Uranium Mining.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, graffiti graces every city's streets, Ness Snorlaxia's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and euthanasia is legal. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Ness Snorlaxia's national animal is the charmander, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the crown.

Ness Snorlaxia is ranked 10th in Hyrule and 67,842nd in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -1 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
