The Constitutional Monarchy of Noskov is a tiny, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18 million Noskovians 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.9%.

The very strong Noskovian economy, worth 1.31 trillion Noobles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 72,669 Noobles, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Noskovian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, people who have lived their entire lives in Noskov are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts, and signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Noskov's national animal is the Unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Noskov is ranked 80,934^th in the world and 139^th in Communitas for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,266.48 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
