The Federal Republic of Noish is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.202 billion Noishians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fredonia. The average income tax rate is 68.2%.

The Noishian economy, worth 55.9 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,533 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Leader shrugs in the face of growing inequalities, even secular Noishians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, and Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noish's national animal is the Parakeet, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Noish is ranked 45,749^th in the world and 1,132^nd in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 104.19 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
