The Nomadic Tribe of The NationStatesTurtle is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 46.733 billion NationStatesTurtleans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Welfare, although Industry is also considered important, while Social Policy and Defense are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The frighteningly efficient NationStatesTurtlean economy, worth a remarkable 4,065 trillion shells a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 86,992 shells, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 289,542 per year while the poor average 19,475, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, the nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Pepsi and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, and citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. The NationStatesTurtle's national animal is the sea turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The NationStatesTurtle is ranked 152,995th in the world and 4th in Bunny and Eagle Land for Most Extreme, scoring 18.82 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
