The Republic of Nathpia is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.971 billion Nathpians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nathpian economy, worth 955 trillion noothans a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,814 noothans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nathpia's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nathpia is ranked 13,169^th in the world and 816^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
