The Democratic Republic of Numismatics is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 1.173 billion Numismaticsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 39.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Numismaticsian economy, worth 41.1 trillion Currencies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,021 Currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hot dogs have been renamed lukewarm pigs, holidays are regarded as the most miserable time of the year, teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, and elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Numismatics's national animal is the Coin, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Numismatics is ranked 90,734^th in the world and 6^th in The Warp for Nicest Citizens, with 15.09 average smiles per day.
