The Republic of Nota1 is a massive, genial nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, public floggings, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate population of 1.938 billion Nota1ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 37.3%.

The very strong Nota1ian economy, worth 107 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,483 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Maths Professor Barbie is the most popular toy for boys and girls alike, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nota1's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nota1 is ranked 262,751^st in the world and 10^th in Valle de Arena for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -7.35 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
