The Regional Nation of The Northern Light is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The North Pacific Delegate with an even hand, and notable for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 11.598 billion TNPers 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magicality City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Lightian economy, worth a remarkable 1,852 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 common. Average income is an impressive 159,701 Pacific Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, and airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room. 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 19,648^th in the world and 393^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Populations, with 11.6 billion Capita.
