The Andante Cantabile of Noda Megumi is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23 billion Kamikaze Girls live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.1%.

The strong Nodame economy, worth 965 trillion Yen a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 41,982 Yen, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 285,430 per year while the poor average 2,255, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem. Noda Megumi's national animal is the Shiba Inu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Noda Megumi is ranked 261,601^st in the world and 157^th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Lowest Crime Rates, with 44.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
