The Federation of Notefica is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Richard Gelt with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 798 million Noteficans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vell. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Notefican economy, worth 94.9 trillion Kroons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 118,906 Kroons, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government is purchasing vast amounts of palm oil for plastics production, artists are pillars of society, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and much of Notefica's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Notefica's national animal is the Ant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Notefica is ranked 30,709^th in the world and 1^st in Ersialist Utopia for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,430.36 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
