The Republic of Narwen is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 15.318 billion Narwenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 18.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Narwenian economy, worth 541 trillion nogs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,366 nogs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, cars are banned, and thieves are flogged in public for their crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Narwen's national animal is the antelope, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Narwen is ranked 194,369^th in the world and 14^th in Lothlorien for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -5.48 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
