The Lack of A better name is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 21.374 billion Namstas 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 54.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Namsten economy, worth 825 trillion Monies a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,643 Monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Bleach is the nation's most common pesticide, it's always rabbit season, public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", and the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. A better name's national animal is the Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

A better name is ranked 202,597th in the world and 26th in Libertatem for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 38.86 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
