The Regional Nation of The Northern Light is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The North Pacific Delegate with an even hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 12.53 billion TNPers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magicality City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Lightian economy, worth a remarkable 2,053 trillion Pacific Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 163,918 Pacific Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 480,267 per year while the poor average 44,128, a ratio of 10.9 to 1.

A widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat", careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, The North Pacific Delegate's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, and roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Northern Light's national animal is the McMasterdonian Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Flemingovianism.

The Northern Light is ranked 201,808^th in the world and 9,938^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 6.86 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
