The The Taxation Free States of Noyokai is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 705 million NYoks 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 Welfare and Law & Order are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Independent economy, worth 101 trillion Grams a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 144,417 Grams, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 801,119 per year while the poor average 13,076, a ratio of 61.3 to 1.

Defense lawyers often argue there's no proof murder victims weren't vampires, the army's shirt ninja are the most feared assassins in the region, nighttime sightings of raccoons sporting Circle-A patches and bandanna masks are on the rise, and Leader will only ring up foreign leaders if they agree to reverse the charges. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Noyokai's national animal is the Monster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Noyokai is ranked 14,253rd in the world and 1st in Nokai for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 6,585.58 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
