The Royal Duchy of Nolgonia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Duke of Nolga with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.298 billion Nolgans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edenburgh. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Nolgonian economy, worth 507 trillion Nollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,835 Nollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government seems embarrassed to be seen governing, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, constipated disaster survivors are rapidly learning that MRE is short for "Meal Requiring Enemas", and the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nolgonia's national animal is the Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nolgonia is ranked 111,691^st in the world and 759^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Drug Use, scoring 66.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
