The Windy Kingdom of Noxious Air is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by General Gas with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 47 billion Noxious Airians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meth. The average income tax rate is 35.2%.

The all-consuming Noxious Airian economy, worth a remarkable 3,502 trillion quatlooms a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 74,529 quatlooms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, a stitch in time could see you serving nine, and songs of praise to General Gas are filled with coded messages from the resistance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Noxious Air's national animal is the Wild Ass, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Noxious Air is ranked 707^th in the world and 1^st in Gypsy Lands for Largest Populations, with 47.0 billion capita.
