The County of Nowata is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.739 billion Nowatans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.9%.

The strong Nowatan economy, worth 217 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,062 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

A major religion has been named as Nowata's national religion, the military patrols the streets in search of possible secessionists, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, and it is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nowata's national animal is the bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nowata is ranked 9,699^th in the world and 1^st in County for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 8,566.59 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
