The Confederacy of North Ezden is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 29 million North Ezdenians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 28.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The North Ezdenian economy, worth 947 billion pesos a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,665 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Ezden's national animal is the porpoise.

North Ezden is ranked 94,282^nd in the world and 1^st in AUPRA for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 88.88 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
