The Confederated Barangays of Nangka is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nangka Directory with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.45 billion Nangkans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Elena Población. The average income tax rate is 85.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Nangkan economy, worth 417 trillion Nangka pesos 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, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 93,904 Nangka pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, the new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play, rumor has it that Nangka Directory has won three lotteries in a row, and elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Nangka peso mansions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nangka's national animal is the Nangka Best Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of the Worker.

Nangka is ranked 85,769^th in the world and 230^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,971.93 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
