The Free Land of The Ursine Northlands is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Chairbear of the High Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 27.531 billion Bears live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NorthPort. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Northlander Urrsish economy, worth a remarkable 5,538 trillion golden thalers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 201,171 golden thalers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 670,683 per year while the poor average 44,927, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-golden thaler treacle machine, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, and visitors to Violet Rock City are stunned to learn that they must memorize the "99 Principles" before entering. Crime is totally unknown. The Ursine Northlands's national animal is the hare, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is One Plus Seven or Urrsarhtru.

The Ursine Northlands is ranked 69,779^th in the world and 15^th in International Democratic Union for Most Extreme, scoring 26.42 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
