The Federal Council of Nanashium is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Mumei with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.925 billion Hoomans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Lost City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hooman economy, worth 779 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 131,504 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

The army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, Hoomans are shown the peaceful ways of free trade by force, Mumei claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', and giant beards and handlebar moustaches are increasingly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nanashium's national animal is the Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Mumeism.

Nanashium is ranked 330,784^th in the world and 8^th in Co Prosperity Sphere for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -13.24 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
