The Holy Golden Federal Republic of Intion North is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President McArthur with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.55 billion Intonorthians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of the North. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Intonorthian economy, worth 223 trillion Aneans a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 144,073 Aneans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are less concerned with policy and more concerned with whether politicians "call 'em like they see 'em", explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, the rich tend their gardens inside gated urban farming communities, and artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings. Crime is totally unknown. Intion North's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Intion North is ranked 40,432^nd in the world and 1,325^th in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 240,561 Standard Monetary Units.
