The Bangtan Nation of Namkada is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Zoid The Rebel with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.749 billion Namkadans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Comet Town. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Namkadan economy, worth 793 trillion Constellations a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,958 Constellations, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign lack of enthusiasm for Namkadan nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, the constant playing of Merry Birthday on Namkadan radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, every workday begins with group therapy, and to say that military robots are inclined towards violence is offensive. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Namkada's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Bangtanism.

Namkada is ranked 33,876^th in the world and 6^th in Suns Reach for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,895.66 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
