The Republic of Northern Panargion Frep is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.394 billion Northern Panargion Frepians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Östersund. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Panargion Frepian economy, worth 247 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 177,704 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,289,419 per year while the poor average 7,721, a ratio of 167 to 1.

Grandiose stage parents insist superyachts and private cinemas are children's basic needs, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Northern Panargion Frepians any less frightened, and the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Panargion Frep's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Northern Panargion Frep is ranked 309,330th in the world and 3,137th in the Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 14.72 quips per hour.
