The Matriarchy of Nuronte is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Mariyna Winger with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.026 billion Nuronteans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarinyne. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nurontean economy, worth 110 trillion Nrullers 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 107,466 Nrullers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nuronteans have recently stopped mysteriously setting off metal detectors, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, and Owls are considered a delicacy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nuronte's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nuronte is ranked 14,390^th in the world and 737^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 82.86 Atheism Rate.
