The Republic of North Carolina reapers is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 824 million North Carolina reapersians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.9%.

The powerhouse North Carolina reapersian economy, worth 76.4 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,720 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, North Carolina reapers is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and economists claim no news is good news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Carolina reapers's national animal is the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
