The Dominion of Nosmalisumus is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 12 million Nosmalisumusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Nosmalisumusian economy, worth 215 billion Virtuses 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 17,984 Virtuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Planespotters are emigrating in droves, organ donation is compulsory, gambling is outlawed, and crocodiles are considered a delicacy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nosmalisumus's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nosmalisumus is ranked 330,145^th in the world and 4,161^st in The East Pacific for Largest Black Market, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
