“Onward for Victory, Glory, and Nolandisland!”

The United States of Nolandisland is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Stephen Nolandis with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.99 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kessnolanville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining industries.

The government is reining in public spending, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, psychological disorders are a taboo subject, and Red Cross demand for body bags are rising while sutures are decreasing. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Nolandisland's national animal is the okapi, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Catholicism, and its currency is the Galleon.

Nolandisland is ranked 114th in the region and 4,571st in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
