The Commonwealth of North Pamplemousse is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.385 billion North Pamplemousseans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming North Pamplemoussean economy, worth 184 trillion Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 133,172 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's iHouse is so intelligent that it manages its own social media accounts, youth call each other types of vegetables in lieu of government-banned racial insults, resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Pamplemousse's national animal is the Bobcat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

North Pamplemousse is ranked 25,285th in the world and 475th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 84.88 on the Human Development Index.
