The Oppressed Tourists of Nogoodnamesleftistan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 10.849 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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.

The mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, the government is giving peace a chance, and the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events. Crime is totally unknown. Nogoodnamesleftistan's national animal is the Mummified Death Mouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Bottle Cap.

Nogoodnamesleftistan is ranked 1st in The Featured Region Followers and 108th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 602 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
