The Commonwealth of Northern Sha Gunos is a small, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 45 million Northern Sha Gunosians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government prioritizes Spirituality, with Welfare, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Industry receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 18.1%.

The Northern Sha Gunosian economy, worth 2.51 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 55,780 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, the government is reining in public spending, and cars are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Sha Gunos's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Northern Sha Gunos is ranked 70,857^th in the world and 45^th in New West Conifer for Most Beautiful Environments, with 619.85 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
