Noharzawaz

Population2.131 billion

The Republic of Noharzawaz is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.131 billion Noharzawazians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Noharzawazian economy, worth 269 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,232 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Among slaves 'bastard' is an honorific rather than an insult, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, and the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noharzawaz's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Noharzawaz is ranked 272,417th in the world and 6,532nd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 60 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
