The State of NP is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.278 billion NPians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The very strong NPian economy, worth 652 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 37,737 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,243 per year while the poor average 2,084, a ratio of 122 to 1.

Mandatory state-funded classes teach Libertarianism, books are often used as kindling, Capital Heights has become the number one destination for urban exploration in Omega Prime, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. NP's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NP is ranked 289,016^th in the world and 280^th in Omega Prime for Lowest Crime Rates, with 34.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
