The Republic of Nothern Fores is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Henrik Odon with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, museums and concert halls, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.253 billion Nothern Foresians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neeluia. The average income tax rate is 81.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Nothern Foresian economy, worth 428 trillion ₦ Zorlexas 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. 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 190,064 ₦ Zorlexas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

No one engages in 'locker room talk' any more, NPCs in MMORPGs regularly interrupt cutscenes with OOC reminders that they aren't real people, gun ownership is compulsory, and water fights now end with thousands dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nothern Fores's national animal is the Snow Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Nothern Fores is ranked 90,991^st in the world and 41^st in Covenant Shores for Most Extreme, scoring 24.67 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
