The BOXY BROWN of Nantoraka is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Director with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, vat-grown people, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.331 billion Nantorakans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuusrora. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Nantorakan economy, worth a remarkable 1,991 trillion dra'nis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 175,718 dra'nis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 517,865 per year while the poor average 46,916, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, people are often woken up by rubbish music, and death row is annually emptied to feed the nation's hunger for televised murder-games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nantoraka's national animal is the African crowned eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Director Is Greatism.

Nantoraka is ranked 302,768th in the world and 12,640th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 32 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
