The United Kingdom of Nolangradskya is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Reginald Pentwood with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.916 billion Nolangradskyans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taragh. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nolangradskyan economy, worth a remarkable 3,338 trillion Fennings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 209,735 Fennings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ghost regiments exist only on paper, the stratosphere is full of "silent but deadly" attacks from Prime Minister Reginald Pentwood's rear echelons, Nolangradskyan royals love to remind their siblings who was adopted first, and children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nolangradskya's national animal is the Vestan Wulf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Caitliachism.

Nolangradskya is ranked 13,483rd in the world and 998th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 129.79 kickbacks per hour.
