The Carib-Atlantic Union of North of Americas is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Kwami Simmons with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.066 billion North Americans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Denver. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Carib-Mericans economy, worth a remarkable 4,975 trillion Cauna Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 275,417 Cauna Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, and travel bureaus double as recruiting centers for national intelligence agencies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. North of Americas's national animal is the Whale Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

North of Americas is ranked 1,966^th in the world and 38^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 814.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
