The Free Land of Nan-1 is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, devout population of 21.509 billion Nan-1ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.0%.

The powerhouse Nan-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,677 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 77,991 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Snitches get riches, Bigtopian relations have become a minefield, police frequently raid drugstores in search of contraband bottles of New Spice aftershave, and Coco the Clown has been elected to the nation's parliament. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nan-1's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Nan-1 is ranked 237,409^th in the world and 1^st in Nantucket for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
