The Imperial Glory of Narkasa is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Minister Valerian with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, frequent executions, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.619 billion Narkasans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Narkasa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Narkasan economy, worth a remarkable 2,865 trillion Richters a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 297,935 Richters, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,005,217 per year while the poor average 16,502, a ratio of 121 to 1.

Foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Narkasan ambassadors, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, gossip magazines are more interested in astrological stars than celebrity ones, and only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise Minister Valerian on Narkasa's coulrophobia epidemic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Narkasa's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Zinroastrian Accord.

Narkasa is ranked 307,448th in the world and 3,140th in the Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 7.66 Effective Tax Rate.
