The Republic of North Joes Sticiand is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its burgeoning penguin population. The hard-working, cynical population of 10.533 billion North Joes Sticiandians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.6%.

The very strong North Joes Sticiandian economy, worth 620 trillion marks a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 58,922 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 166,326 per year while the poor average 16,709, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. North Joes Sticiand's national animal is the penguin.

North Joes Sticiand is ranked 203,796^th in the world and 2^nd in The Confederacy of Untied States for Safest, scoring 38.28 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
