The Allied States of Nomomo is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.919 billion Nomomoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Industry, Public Transport, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 81.9%.

The all-consuming Nomomoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,501 trillion Ukumas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 100,615 Ukumas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Little kids often wonder why strange grown-ups are following them around the soft play areas, diaper ads feature vertically-challenged adults wearing bootees, the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, and calling dibs is an unalienable right. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nomomo's national animal is the cicada, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Nomomo is ranked 261,520^th in the world and 379^th in Wintreath for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -130.13 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
