The Federation of Nahrark is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 29 million Nahrarkians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.3%.

The thriving Nahrarkian economy, worth 1.96 trillion Catals a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 67,645 Catals, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

The population's jaw muscles put sharks to shame, Ollie the Oiled Seal welcomes throngs of tourists to the newly opened Oil Oasis Water Park, calling tech support mid-shootout is a common occurrence, and the caged-bird trade is singing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nahrark's national animal is the Donkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nahrark is ranked 109,040^th in the world and 520^th in Carcassonne for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
