The Most Serene Republic of Noxolia is a tiny, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 14 million Noxolians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.3%.

The Noxolian economy, worth 606 billion Polarois a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 43,286 Polarois, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Bicyclists are banned from major roads, voting is voluntary, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and punitive tariffs protect local industry. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Noxolia's national animal is the Dragon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Noxolia is ranked 211,916^th in the world and 454^th in Starlight for Highest Poor Incomes, with 20,171.85 Standard Monetary Units.
