The Commonwealth of Non Sequitur is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by a well worn sock with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 15.508 billion Non Sequiturians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Environment, although Education, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the tiny hut. The average income tax rate is 27.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Non Sequiturian economy, worth a remarkable 1,211 trillion coconuts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,120 coconuts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, there is something rotten in the state of Non Sequitur, several inches are being added to first class seating, and the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Non Sequitur's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Non Sequitur is ranked 37,240^th in the world and 2^nd in The Potato Alliance for Highest Poor Incomes, with 66,763.18 Standard Monetary Units.
