The Republic of Nautical nonsense is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 9.03 billion Nautical nonsenseans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 53.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Nautical nonsensean economy, worth 329 trillion rubledollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 36,406 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nautical nonsense's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nautical nonsense is ranked 287,083^rd in the world and 1^st in The bubble for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -6.2 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
