The Matriarchy of NationStates Network is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.926 billion NationStates Networkians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government prioritizes Spirituality, with Education, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The strong NationStates Networkian economy, worth 486 trillion ravencoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 70,205 ravencoins, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

A dictator has seized power and outlawed elections, the constant playing of Merry Birthday on NationStates Networkian radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and shopping comes bagged and tagged. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. NationStates Network's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

NationStates Network is ranked 11,197^th in the world and 1^st in United Alliances for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 6,022.37 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
