The 13th Republic of Northern Buitenzorg is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Marc Carter with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 13.498 billion Northerners are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NBC. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Northerner economy, worth a remarkable 1,532 trillion NB Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 113,567 NB Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Claims of miracles are met with calls to eradicate religion as superstitious nonsense, soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued, putting houses on stilts is elevating house porches and prices alike, and people talk about things being better when men were men. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Buitenzorg's national animal is the White Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is 7 major religions.

Northern Buitenzorg is ranked 135,746th in the world and 49th in Cape of Good Hope for Most Stationary, with 233.6578712922 days.
