The United States of North Dakoda is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 212 million North Dakodans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 16.8%.

The thriving North Dakodan economy, worth 17.0 trillion Ruyams a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,960 Ruyams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation leads The Northern Nations for unlikely accidents and truffle consumption, the government has strong opinions about what goes into your bodily orifices, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, and women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Dakoda's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

North Dakoda is ranked 87,226^th in the world and 2^nd in The Northern Nations for Most Developed, scoring 64.89 on the Human Development Index.
