The Free Land of Pure minded naturalist is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mandalore the Supreme with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.527 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55%. 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 nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, euthanasia is legal, thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pure minded naturalist's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Howl.

Pure minded naturalist is ranked 123rd in Atlantian Oceania and 88,258th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 8 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
