The Republic of Namerna is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 904 million Namernans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.8%.

The strong Namernan economy, worth 52.7 trillion Namernian Siliquas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 58,327 Namernian Siliquas, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

A traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum, sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, every workday begins with group therapy, and diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite. Crime is relatively low. Namerna's national animal is the Red Peafowl, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Namerna is ranked 99,455^th in the world and 4,926^th in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 97.21 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
