The High Holy Land of Noellae is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Wujeeta with an iron fist, and remarkable for its feral children, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.104 billion Noellaeans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Badonkadonk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.4%.

The very strong Noellaean economy, worth 888 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 87,901 francs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 468,201 per year while the poor average 8,688, a ratio of 53.9 to 1.

The government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, dandruff and athlete's foot are seen as signs of physical beauty, families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Noellae's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Wujy Knows Best.

Noellae is ranked 141,153^rd in the world and 4^th in The Land of Bird and Honey for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
