The Nya-tionalist Nya-thUwUmbria of Nationalist Northumbria is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Alvin Ashleigh with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.396 billion Nationalist Northumbrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bamburgh. The average income tax rate is 38.6%.

The Nationalist Northumbrian economy, worth 350 trillion Northumbrian pennies a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,747 Northumbrian pennies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The only legal elections are for student body president, appliance stores are finding spy cameras embedded in their unboxed merchandise, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', and paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nationalist Northumbria's national animal is the lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Northumbrian Christianity.

Nationalist Northumbria is ranked 9,171^st in the world and 1^st in Thneedville for Most Patriotic, with 47.45 flags saluted per person per day.
