The Psalm of Np 84 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.411 billion Np 84ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 51.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Np 84ian economy, worth 132 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 20,711 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tragedy of the commons is being tested nationwide but everyone says it's somebody else's problem, patriots insist that size does matter, meat-eating is frowned upon, and scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Np 84's national animal is the leopard.

Np 84 is ranked 130,585^th in the world and 6,445^th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,463.87 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
