The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of December City. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nomian economy, worth a remarkable 1,418 trillion Crystals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,161 Crystals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School lockers are filled with fancy underwear, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and terrorism and assassination are tried-and-true methods of political activism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nomia's national animal is the Chinchilla, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Astronomy.

Nomia is ranked 45,630^th in the world and 19^th in Conch Kingdom for Rudest Citizens, with 88.24 insults per minute.
