The Taxation Free States of Nogovernland is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 954 million Nogovians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oldlagob City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Libertarian economy, worth 146 trillion Grams a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 153,740 Grams, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 763,754 per year while the poor average 17,507, a ratio of 43.6 to 1.

Chest pains are considered part of the dining experience in Libertarian restaurants, teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, the new national anthem passes the Turing Test, and staffers take uppers in the old upper house chamber. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nogovernland's national animal is the Monster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nogovernland is ranked 261,655th in the world and 4th in Nokai for Most Secular, with 12.49 Atheism Rate.
