The Republic of Noob16 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 2.973 billion Noob16ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Noob16ian economy, worth 212 trillion Noobs a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,341 Noobs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists soak their luggage in boiling water before unpacking, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noob16's national animal is the Noob, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Noob16 is ranked 14,172^nd in the world and 4^th in Noob for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,828.69 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
