The Democratic Republic of Naarniia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, state-planned economy, and compulsory vegetarianism. The quiet, industrious population of 860 million Naarniians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cair Paravel. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.1%.

The thriving Naarniian economy, worth 76.7 trillion Lions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 89,198 Lions, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Money grows on trees, the government is a law unto itself, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, and they say that Naarniians made a dessert and called it peace. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Naarniia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Naarniia is ranked 120,324^th in the world and 106^th in Federation of Martian Colonies for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
