The Federal Republic of Nomaur is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Aidan with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.659 billion Nomaurians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zibrek. The average income tax rate is 47.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Nomaurian economy, worth 349 trillion Kremots a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 95,475 Kremots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's streets have become a winter wonderland of salt and sand, skateboarding is the only legal way to travel, a passport is literally priceless, and most people learn to drive on crash courses. Crime is totally unknown. Nomaur's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nomaur is ranked 309,164^th in the world and 739^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -13.19 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
