The Republic of Noganta is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.29 billion Nogantans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nubuntu. The average income tax rate is 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nogantan economy, worth 170 trillion Nougats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 132,190 Nougats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, former arms manufacturing CEOs are now delivering food for minimum wage, and the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noganta's national animal is the Nogantelope, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Noganta is ranked 8,762^nd in the world and 252^nd in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,567.06 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
