The JOIN SEKHMET TODAY of Notanam is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Nota with a fair hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, state-planned economy, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.753 billion Notanamese hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scugog. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Notanamese economy, worth a remarkable 2,190 trillion monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 282,543 monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The entire entry for Notanam in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, Notanamese police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, and 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool. Crime is totally unknown. Notanam's national animal is the Possum, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nota.

Notanam is ranked 3,965^th in the world and 210^th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 133.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
