The Federation of North Stalingrad is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 575 million North Stalingradians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant North Stalingradian economy, worth 11.5 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 19,976 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Euthanasia is illegal, parents who fail mandatory parenting classes risk having their children taken away, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, and there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Stalingrad's national animal is the Disabled people , which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

North Stalingrad is ranked 224,410^th in the world and 9,868^th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 575 million capita.
