The Brotherhood of Comia Noracon is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Overseer Amulius Flavus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical population of 6.405 billion Comia Noraconians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Temple Prime. The average income tax rate is 43.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Comia Noraconian economy, worth a remarkable 1,578 trillion Drachimas 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 246,433 Drachimas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, nobody ever questions the unquestioned rule that questions must always be asked, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, and on-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Comia Noracon's national animal is the Emperor Scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Comia Noracon is ranked 1,704^th in the world and 32^nd in the West Pacific for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 2,589.33 Tourists Per Hour.
