The Republic of Nob Dwattiush is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning squirrel population. The quiet, industrious population of 10.39 billion Nob Dwattiushians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Nob Dwattiushian economy, worth 476 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,860 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nob Dwattiush's national animal is the squirrel.

Nob Dwattiush is ranked 166,646^th in the world and 4^th in The West Pole for Most Beautiful Environments, with 504.26 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
