The Constitutional Monarchy of Nappaj is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9 million Nappajians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 52.0%.

The Nappajian economy, worth 342 billion yen a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,026 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Bicyclists are banned from major roads, the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, and money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nappaj's national animal is the green pheasant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nappaj is ranked 237,108^th in the world and 3,283^rd in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
