The Communist Republics of New Natica is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Kheper-Akh Menkhar IV with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.351 billion natiquenses are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Men-Nefer. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient naticano economy, worth 994 trillion Mangoleses 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. 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 an amazing 296,911 Mangoleses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Women across the country are tying the knot, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, pre-schoolers who draw stick figures of their favorite celebrities are sued for infringing image rights, and the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Natica's national animal is the Falcon-Natych, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Natica is ranked 319,277^th in the world and 10^th in The Union of the Worlds Nations for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.32 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
