The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 29.679 billion Northern Bigfootians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

Average income is an amazing 254,574 spikes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
