The Republic of Narki is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 193 million Narkians 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.8%.

The all-consuming Narkian economy, worth 15.3 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 79,382 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, pitchforks and torches are coming back into fashion, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, and the national sporting identity is represented by a talking burger and a singing smartphone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Narki's national animal is the Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Narki is ranked 127,185^th in the world and 1,767^th in The East Pacific for Nudest, with 148.5 cheeks per square mile.
