The Democratic States of Nomia is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Solar with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.591 billion Nomians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of December City. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nomian economy, worth a remarkable 1,369 trillion Crystals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,469 Crystals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, bombs are permitted on planes for the 'security of the passengers', and exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nomia's national animal is the Chinchilla, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Astronomy.

Nomia is ranked 14,676^th in the world and 40^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,127.73 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
