The United Socialist States of The Nothe is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 264 million Nothanites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 45.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Nothan economy, worth 6.29 trillion Rupees a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,841 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Nothanites. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Nothe's national animal is the Fennec Fox.

The Nothe is ranked 261,915^th in the world and 3^rd in Siblingd for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -5.29 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
