The Democratic Republic of Nascotia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 905 million Nascotians 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Validus Civitatis. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Nascotian economy, worth 77.1 trillion Nascoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 85,200 Nascoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nascotians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, Nascotia has designated Validus Civitatis as its capital city, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, and a massive campaign is underway to ensure the race of Nascotia remains pure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nascotia's national animal is the Indigo Bunting, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nascotia is ranked 30,133^rd in the world and 565^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Poor Incomes, with 61,039.12 Standard Monetary Units.
