The People's Republic of Northernupperland is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Thomas with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 943 million Northernupperlandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Unity Spire. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Northernupperlandian economy, worth 110 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 117,128 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, it's best not to ask what goes into The Unity Spire Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, and chickens roam the streets freely. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Northernupperland's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Northernupperland is ranked 87,632nd in the world and 37th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Patriotic, with 18.53 flags saluted per person per day.
