The State of Lower North Shore is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.241 billion Lower North Shoreans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The very strong Lower North Shorean economy, worth 905 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 40,729 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lower North Shore's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lower North Shore is ranked 252,463^rd in the world and 6^th in Superior for Lowest Crime Rates, with 50.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
