The Republic of Noxarak is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 9 million Noxarakians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Noxarakian economy, worth 112 billion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 12,502 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noxarak's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Noxarak is ranked 237,596^th in the world and 36^th in The Apolean Frontiers for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 26.46 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
