The Protectorate of Numidien is a small, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 40 million Numidienians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Numidienian economy, worth 1.37 trillion charts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 34,151 charts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending recently hit a new high, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and parties that are too noisy are broken up to prevent disturbing wildlife. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Numidien's national animal is the reichsadler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Numidien is ranked 74,963^rd in the world and 282^nd in the Outback for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,367.46 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
