The Federation of Narvatus is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.195 billion Narvatusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Usorеum. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Narvatusian economy, worth a remarkable 5,545 trillion ouncеs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 322,480 ouncеs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Warfare increasingly resembles a video game, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Leader, and the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Narvatus's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is thе holiеst frееdoms.

Narvatus is ranked 2,130th in the world and 4th in The Free Nations Region for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 20,816.69 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
