The Wastelands of Nothreen is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Godfather with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 12.321 billion Nothreenians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Efyuberg. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Nothreeny economy, worth a remarkable 5,990 trillion goldeens a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 486,227 goldeens, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,534,943 per year while the poor average 4,619, a ratio of 981 to 1.

The purgative quality of Nothreeny cuisine is known across the globe, every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, Godfather's personal home is one of the South Pacific's most notorious party destinations, and a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nothreen's national animal is the Cockroach, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Knockism.

Nothreen is ranked 59th in the world and 5th in the South Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 400 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
