The Military Power of NATO is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jens Stoltenberg with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 20.175 billion NATOians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brussels. The average income tax rate is 62.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NATOian economy, worth a remarkable 2,860 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 141,800 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Those who sing the national anthem off-key have the key thrown away, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, acute politicians deride opposition members for being obtuse, and the new NATOian-made OS is buggier and more inconvenient than a horse-drawn carriage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NATO's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Article 5.

NATO is ranked 19,186th in the world and 5th in Ukraine for Largest Populations, with 20.2 billion capita.
