The Armed People's Republic of North Eugenia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Joven De Guzman with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.24 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jung Se Jin City. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Arms Manufacturing.

Thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, all judiciary cases are decided in the court of public opinion, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Eugenia's national animal is the Panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Atheism, and its currency is the North Eugene Won.

North Eugenia is ranked 35th in Philippines and 100,554th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -46 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
