The Empire of Pacific North is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 627 million Pacific Northians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 8.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Pacific Northian economy, worth 33.4 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,252 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Short is not always sweet, discarded pennies litter the streets, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Pacific North's national animal is the Beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pacific North is ranked 167,059^th in the world and 5,606^th in Osiris for Most Secular, with 17.09 Atheism Rate.
