The Confederation of Naasiat Nuna is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Commissioner Aphelion Skies with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.595 billion Marukunans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hôfuðkeðaȓ. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marukunan economy, worth 974 trillion Näs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,353 Näs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills, a passport is literally priceless, and surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Naasiat Nuna's national animal is the Tiyanki, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Naasiat Nuna is ranked 6,211^th in the world and 21^st in The Union of Democratic States for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,088.76 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
