The Empire Kingdom Domain of Noyans is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Nonoy Sasi with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.613 billion Noyansians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cerali. The average income tax rate is 86.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Noyansian economy, worth 224 trillion Ramcies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 139,445 Ramcies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, and the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noyans's national animal is the Noyansian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Doctrinal God of Nonoy Sasi.

Noyans is ranked 150,810^th in the world and 3,320^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 757.39 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
