The Allied States of Noders is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Nathan Spades with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 37.042 billion Nodersians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Nodersian economy, worth a remarkable 6,668 trillion Tiebers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,033 Tiebers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Immigrants complain that natives keep coming over and taking their jobs, in a baffling press conference Nathan Spades proudly dismantled a broken door, the fattest folk in Noders look to be the happiest ones, and the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Nodersian democracy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noders's national animal is the scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yehudai.

Noders is ranked 5,413^th in the world and 279^th in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 125.1 quips per hour.
