The Free Land of NoCoZo is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Invisible Hand of The Market with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, anti-smoking policies, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.668 billion NoCoZoans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Administration, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merrion. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The frighteningly efficient NoCoZoan economy, worth 368 trillion Serins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 100,574 Serins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 381,573 per year while the poor average 18,402, a ratio of 20.7 to 1.

Robosexual marriages are increasingly common, octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, constipated-looking politicians are uptight about potty mouths, and The Invisible Hand of The Market's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. NoCoZo's national animal is the Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Market.

NoCoZo is ranked 107,716th in the world and 22nd in The Galactics Union for Most Stationary, with 379.06068101212 days.
