The Cornfields of Nazvanda is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by That one pig with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, barren, inhospitable landscape, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.61 billion Nazvandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deessburg. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Nazvandian economy, worth 383 trillion Nazvandian Bitcoins a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 147,072 Nazvandian Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, wildlife have trouble navigating the electric fences surrounding national forests, and dictionary sales have hit an all-time high. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nazvanda's national animal is the Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Lechonkism.
Nazvanda is ranked 284,555th in the world and 3,491st in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -171.92 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
