The Grand Duchy of Naturetica is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, public floggings, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.694 billion Natureticans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Naturetican economy, worth 555 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,979 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 477,738 per year while the poor average 6,908, a ratio of 69.2 to 1.

The education system has gotten a recent boost in spending, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Naturetica City, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, and Naturetica is increasingly belligerent on the international stage. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Naturetica's national animal is the panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Naturetica is ranked 259,499^th in the world and 1,175^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Lowest Crime Rates, with 46.79 law-abiding acts per hour.
