The United Socialist States of Namwenia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Carlita Nom with a fair hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.845 billion Namwenians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Onaw. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Namwenian economy, worth 478 trillion Curts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 168,359 Curts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, and defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Namwenia's national animal is the Manatee, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is None.

Namwenia is ranked 85,983^rd in the world and 229^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 186,787 Standard Monetary Units.
