The State of Nosehs is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 17.279 billion Nosehsians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Nosehsian economy, worth 64.7 trillion betales 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 slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. 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 3,745 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, the people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, and Nosehs has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nosehs's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nosehs is ranked 47,086th in the world and 3rd in Richard for Most Stationary, with 932.28928527892 days.
