The Natrium of Na is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 22.939 billion Nans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Na City. The average income tax rate is 11.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nan economy, worth a remarkable 3,395 trillion nas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,023 nas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Na City's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, the government has strong opinions about what goes into your bodily orifices, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, and scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Na's national animal is the Na, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Na is ranked 233,814th in the world and 7,187th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 23.15778379012 days.
