The People's Syndicate of Natiri is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by John Reed with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.286 billion Natirians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Natira. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Natirian economy, worth a remarkable 1,179 trillion nats 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 161,830 nats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, weekends are spent tilting at windmills, dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Natirian citizenship, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Natiri's national animal is the Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Natiri is ranked 321,780^th in the world and 171^st in Stygian Abbey for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
