The Republic of Northern Free States of America is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 135 million Northern Free States of Americans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The powerhouse Northern Free States of American economy, worth 12.6 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 93,455 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 434,180 per year while the poor average 12,088, a ratio of 35.9 to 1.

Children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet, the nation is loathed abroad for dumping all of its waste in international waters, the nation's Medal of Honour can be found as a free toy in breakfast cereal, and drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Northern Free States of America's national animal is the Bison.

Northern Free States of America is ranked 4,316th in the world and 84th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,801.97 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
