The Empire of Noicre is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ryan with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 7.621 billion Noicreans 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 relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orange County. The average income tax rate is 39.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Noicrean economy, worth a remarkable 1,169 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 153,432 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government's only official statement on the burning down of Orange County was that 'they shouldn't have been so careless', space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, guns don't kill people — heroes do, and murder is sanctioned if the legal paperwork is filled out correctly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noicre's national animal is the Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ryanism.

Noicre is ranked 207,300^th in the world and 10,212^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 19.8 on the Hayek Index.
