The Bangtan Nation of Namkada is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Zoid The Rebel with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.288 billion Namkadans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Comet Town. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Namkadan economy, worth a remarkable 1,271 trillion Constellations a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 153,403 Constellations, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Namkadan novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Zoid The Rebel, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. Crime is totally unknown. Namkada's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Bangtanism.

Namkada is ranked 101,523rd in the world and 133rd in Talonia for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,504.6 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
