The Confederation of Naasiat Nuna is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Commissioner Aphelion Skies with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.646 billion Marukunans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hôfuðkeðaȓ. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marukunan economy, worth 973 trillion Näs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,627 Näs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills, a passport is literally priceless, and surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Naasiat Nuna's national animal is the Tiyanki, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Naasiat Nuna is ranked 281,884^th in the world and 261^st in The Union of Democratic States for Most Patriotic, with 0.48 flags saluted per person per day.
