The Oppressed Tourists of Nogoodnamesleftistan is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 8.705 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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.

Leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, students cut up leftover Bottle Caps during Arts and Crafts, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Nogoodnamesleftistan after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax. 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 21st in The Featured Region Followers and 101,308th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -72 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
