The Protectorate of North-Korel is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its enforced nudity. The hard-nosed population of 19.196 billion North-Korelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 27.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped North-Korelian economy, worth 477 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,877 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public nudity is compulsory. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North-Korel's national animal is the jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

North-Korel is ranked 177,382^nd in the world and 2^nd in The Umanatal Stellar Confederacy for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
