The People's Republic of Naiq is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 24.73 billion Naiqians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Naiqian economy, worth 388 trillion Nais 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. 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 15,720 Nais, 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. Naiq's national animal is the nightowl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Naiq is ranked 102,731^st in the world and 5^th in The Genesis Corporation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
