The Neverending Queue of Nofunnetall is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Burgermeister Meisterburger with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, triple-decker prams, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 35.08 billion Nofunnetallers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Spirituality, although Industry is also considered important, while Public Transport isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nofunnetall City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.8%.

The all-consuming Nofunnetallian economy, worth a remarkable 3,190 trillion dove poops a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, extremely specialized black market in Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 90,955 dove poops, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 303,235 per year while the poor average 20,312, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

To 'cut off family ties' is no longer just a phrase, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, a decrease in wailing and gnashing of teeth at astronomical events is reducing demand for dentistry, and foreign lack of enthusiasm for Nofunnetallian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nofunnetall's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is standing in line.

Nofunnetall is ranked 7,665th in the world and 2nd in Freshness for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5,226.2 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
