The Principality of Nation1 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 670 million Bobs 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 Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belcheropolis. The average income tax rate is 33.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nation1ian economy, worth 25.9 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,590 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, baiting is a national sport, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nation1's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nation1 is ranked 134,982^nd in the world and 6,547^th in the South Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 3.5 crimes per hour.
