The Taxation Free States of Nomanzgov is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 905 million NZds 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 Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rich City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Libertarian economy, worth 145 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 Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 160,704 Grams, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 855,982 per year while the poor average 15,883, a ratio of 53.9 to 1.

Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence, the latest "must-have" uPhone is 1/4 mm thinner than last year's uPhone, and Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Nomanzgov's national animal is the Monster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nomanzgov is ranked 20,589th in the world and 1st in Nokai for Highest Average Incomes, with 160,704.57 Standard Monetary Units.
