The State of Northwood is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 21.564 billion Northwoodians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Industry and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dominion Heights. The average income tax rate is 8.9%.
The powerhouse Northwoodian economy, worth 636 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 29,503 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.
The streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, military spending is on the increase, Northwood has designated Dominion Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Northwood in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Northwood's national animal is the deer.
Northwood is ranked 237,335th in the world and 467th in 0000 for Safest, scoring 19.41 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
