The Emirate of Nokchiyqham is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 368 million Nokchiys 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Nokchiyqhamian economy, worth 6.56 trillion Ahchas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 17,824 Ahchas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nokchiyqham's national animal is the Nokchiyqham Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nokchiyqham is ranked 152,548^th in the world and 118^th in Anteria for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 554.93 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
