The Republic of Note Island is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, devout population of 8.147 billion Note Islandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Note Islandian economy, worth 736 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,421 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Devotion to God is only skin-deep, Note Islandian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, and talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Note Island's national animal is the Clam, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Note Island is ranked 120,716^th in the world and 317^th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,195.59 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
