The People's Syndicate of Natiri is a massive, genial nation, ruled by John Reed with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.177 billion Natirians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Natira. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Natirian economy, worth 511 trillion nats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 160,857 nats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Natirian Babysitters Club has proven to be a huge relief to stressed-out parents across the nation, hackers post hourly updates on international summits, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, and disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Natiri's national animal is the Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Natiri is ranked 267,314^th in the world and 1,881^st in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -513.88 on the Hayek Index.
