Nation/Nateonalia

The Maryland Raider Gang of Nateonalia is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Centurion David Veaugh with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 797 million Raiders are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Natville-In-Baltimore. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.1%.

The strong a Raider economy, worth 71.4 trillion Vim Pop Caps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 89,566 Vim Pop Caps, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Nateonalia's pristine beaches, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nateonalia's national animal is the Angler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nateonalia is ranked 41,334th in the world and 9th in Capital Wasteland for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 89.41 on the Hayek Index, The nation leads Combat Zone in per capita stalking
