The Republic of Nuars is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.214 billion Nuarsians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palmes. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Nuarsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,382 trillion Pessetas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 265,131 Pessetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The holidays begin with the traditional exchanging of aspirin, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nuars's national animal is the sea turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nuars is ranked 553^rd in the world and 3^rd in Solidaritat for Safest, scoring 172.4 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
