The Democratic Republic of Northern Glory is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.043 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 46.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Gloryian economy, worth 105 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,102 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, commuters often break into synchronised para-para dancing for no reason at all, and the nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world. 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 teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Northern Glory is ranked 23,358^th in the world and 1,245^th in The North Pacific for Most Inclusive, scoring 130.57 on the Mandela-Wollstonecraft Non-Discrimination Index.
