The Republic of Netrad is a small, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 23 million Netradians 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, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Netradian economy, worth 1.02 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,214 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many aides in Leader's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is totally unknown. Netrad's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Netrad is ranked 250,216^th in the world and 72^nd in The Global Elite for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 146.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
