The Empire of NotLetum is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, cynical population of 441 million NotLetumians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.4%.

The thriving NotLetumian economy, worth 19.2 trillion Letums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 43,489 Letums, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 166,797 per year while the poor average 7,819, a ratio of 21.3 to 1.

Postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, one does not simply walk into the tundra, the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, and political debates are all but a distant memory. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. NotLetum's national animal is the Letum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NotLetum is ranked 239,023^rd in the world and 2,563^rd in the Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.16 percentage of bribes refused.
