The Principality of Nami Bays is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Nam bin Bay with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, devout population of 8.518 billion Nami Baysians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bay of Nam. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nami Baysian economy, worth 989 trillion sureixes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,187 sureixes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government's economic policy is "sort it yourself", hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, and senior literature classes are left analysing why Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is so darn sunny. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nami Bays's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nami Bays is ranked 26,375^th in the world and 279^th in 10000 Islands for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 238.93 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
