The Federation of Narvatus is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.575 billion Narvatusians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Usoreum. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Narvatusian economy, worth a remarkable 7,811 trillion ounces 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 amazing 346,016 ounces, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders, children who drop their ice cream are fined for littering, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Narvatus's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the holiest freedoms.

Narvatus is ranked 312,480^th in the world and 55^th in The Free Nations Region for Nudest, with 3 cheeks per square mile.
