The People's Republic of Nozhnorstan is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.369 billion Nozhnors love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Petrilovzhka. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Nozhnorstanian economy, worth 130 trillion Rublonkas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 38,681 Rublonkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, Nozhnorstan has designated Petrilovzhka as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Nozhnorstan in an international press conference, and Christian Catholicism has been named as Nozhnorstan's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nozhnorstan's national animal is the Lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christian Catholicism.

Nozhnorstan is ranked 254,067^th in the world and 902^nd in Talonia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
