The Final Answer of No is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by No-One with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 26.068 billion Noans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Never. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Noan economy, worth a remarkable 2,829 trillion Noes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Information Technology. 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 108,559 Noes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, and the navy's new flotilla is gonna be a thrilla. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. No's national animal is the No, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

No is ranked 292,551^st in the world and 11,155^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 5.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
