The Colony of Nthal is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 14.537 billion Nthalians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Welfare, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 7.7%.

The Nthalian economy, worth 734 trillion coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 50,556 coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Nthal's national animal is the weasel.

Nthal is ranked 125,897^th in the world and 5,534^th in Osiris for Most Patriotic, with 12.76 flags saluted per person per day.
