The Matriarchy of NationStates Network is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ban on automobiles and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 11.93 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 look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.
The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.
The strong NationStates Networkian economy, worth 850 trillion ravencoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 71,295 ravencoins, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.
Basket-weaving is the nation's latest fad, going on a diet invalidates your passport, being dead no longer has any benefits, and seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, 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 234,682nd in the world and 31st in United Alliances for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 152.65 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
