The United States of North Electrica is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 263 million Electricans 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Electri. The average income tax rate is 37.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong North Electrican economy, worth 21.8 trillion Energy Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,971 Energy Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque, a nation-wide cull of Electrica Macaws is in effect, the entire entry for North Electrica in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', and people's charity begins and ends at home. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Electrica's national animal is the Electrica Macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

North Electrica is ranked 41,608^th in the world and 61^st in Northern Utopia for Most Developed, scoring 60.05 on the Human Development Index.
