The Republic of Namestates is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 466 million Namestatesians 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 minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The strong Namestatesian economy, worth 27.4 trillion Mochis a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. Average income is 58,739 Mochis, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 378,584 per year while the poor average 3,682, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Namestates's national animal is the Duck.

Namestates is ranked 302,583^rd in the world and 31^st in Testregionia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -6.32 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
