The Democratic Republic of Northern Glory is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King MarkMan the elder with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.951 billion Northern Gloryians 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valley of Golden Halo. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Gloryian economy, worth 261 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 133,988 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Carpet bombing has decimated Brasilistan's landscape and population, ratings for sitcom reruns are often much higher than election debates, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, and convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Glory's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Northern Glory is ranked 20,814^th in the world and 827^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 4,156.97 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
