The Oppressed Peoples of The Nchuand-Zel Reach is a very large, safe nation, notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The cynical population of 352 million Forsworn are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Forsworn economy, worth 8.27 trillion Septims a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,505 Septims, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, only criminals carry guns, military spending is on the increase, and drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Nchuand-Zel Reach's national animal is the Sabre Cat.

The Nchuand-Zel Reach is ranked 92,734^th in the world and 9^th in The DankLeft Commune for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
