The Democratic States of Natople is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, humorless population of 2.159 billion Natopleans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Natoplean economy, worth 216 trillion ultras a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,317 ultras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Movies depict muscle-bound women kicking down a titanium door to carry hysterical men to safety, the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, and almost every singles' party has a clergy and courtesans theme. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Natople's national animal is the antelope, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Natople is ranked 8,301^st in the world and 10^th in Anteria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,032.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
