The Federal Republic of Nariba Xanarcica is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its suspicion of poets, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 524 million Naribans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elytir. The average income tax rate is 25.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Nariba Xanarcican economy, worth 37.1 trillion Serthix Dinars 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 70,711 Serthix Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, infantry are nicknamed "mushrooms" because they get fed crap and are left in the dark, worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, and posters of politicians in sensual poses can be found on the walls of teenagers' rooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nariba Xanarcica's national animal is the Serthix Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nariba Xanarcica is ranked 65,252^nd in the world and 1^st in Astaryx for Highest Poor Incomes, with 44,287.45 Standard Monetary Units.
