The People's Republic of Northernupperland is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Lord Thomas with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 960 million Northernupperlandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Unity Spire. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Northernupperlandian economy, worth 111 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 116,178 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has an international reputation for compassion, citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons, war is made in the name of love, and schoolchildren are divided over Lord Thomas's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Northernupperland's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Northernupperland is ranked 168,740^th in the world and 94^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Authoritarian, with 625.9 milliStalins.
