The Republic of North Pembina is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hulda Gruetchmacher with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 25.791 billion North Pembinans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wahpeton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.0%.

The frighteningly efficient North Pembinan economy, worth a remarkable 3,480 trillion Reais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 134,949 Reais, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 557,292 per year while the poor average 21,484, a ratio of 25.9 to 1.

Attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, and crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed. Crime is totally unknown. North Pembina's national animal is the Gopher, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

North Pembina is ranked 5,311^th in the world and 1^st in The United Reddit Nations for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,245.51 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
