The Oddsmaster of Notanam is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Nota with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.559 billion Notanamese hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scugog. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Notanamese economy, worth a remarkable 3,450 trillion monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 298,495 monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sweat stains are proof of political acumen, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, it turns out that trees grow on monies, and most ambassadors from Notanam retire only a few years after being appointed. Crime is totally unknown. Notanam's national animal is the Possum, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nota.

Notanam is ranked 490^th in the world and 15^th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 114.06 average smiles per day.
