The Bangtan Nation of Namkada is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Zoid The Rebel with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.128 billion Namkadans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Comet Town. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Namkadan economy, worth a remarkable 2,079 trillion Constellations a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 171,456 Constellations, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Trains and passengers alike are often late, Namkadans submit requests for a date in writing with an enclosed RSVP card, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, and every citizen is allowed exactly fifteen minutes of fame. Crime is totally unknown. Namkada's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Bangtanism.

Namkada is ranked 50,328^th in the world and 5^th in Talonia for Largest Populations, with 12.1 billion capita.
