The Republic of Nollop is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 86 million Nollopians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nollopian economy, worth 3.73 trillion Nevins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,349 Nevins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's illegal to be caught on tape, fruit pickers with degrees in Letter psychology are a common sight, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime is totally unknown. Nollop's national animal is the Letter, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nollop is ranked 232,661^st in the world and 1,955^th in the West Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 52.57 on the Human Development Index.
