The United Republic of South Namia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Minister Phoebe Zetian with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.802 billion South Namians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kratosia. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient South Namian economy, worth 958 trillion Gelders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 140,888 Gelders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, and the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Kratosia. Crime is totally unknown. South Namia's national animal is the Merbear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

South Namia is ranked 287,019^th in the world and 215^th in Thaecia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -17.32 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
