The Armed Autocracy of North Caldwell is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Hank Hill with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, museums and concert halls, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 885 million North Caldwellians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arlen. The average income tax rate is 27.1%.

The all-consuming North Caldwellian economy, worth 93.7 trillion capitales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 105,845 capitales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Bands of adventurers rove the countryside searching for monsters, Hank Hill's latest speech included a bizarre reference to MaxWow incontinence pads being 50% more absorbent than the next leading brand, foreign militias and child smuggling rings will always love Hank Hill, and school cafeterias serve nothing but protein powder and vitamin supplements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Caldwell's national animal is the black cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

North Caldwell is ranked 121,854^th in the world and 1,847^th in the South Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 21.49 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
