The Theocratic Communion of COTNC is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Consul Dago Ultel with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, devout population of 15.878 billion Nipovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dumeo. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Nipovian economy, worth a remarkable 2,405 trillion Picres 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 Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 151,482 Picres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nipovians also serve as great lightning rods, planes with cockpit glass are reserved for the top pilots, preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, and the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. COTNC's national animal is the White Mantle Ox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Filii Uln.

COTNC is ranked 308,522^nd in the world and 161^st in Declansburg for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -27 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
