The Republic of Northern Dosletofe is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Tonelli Hymn-Ratten with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.299 billion Disshers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minnow. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dissish economy, worth a remarkable 1,756 trillion §lomers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,799 §lomers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, hedge fund managers are diversifying into herbaceous borders, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, and Tonelli Hymn-Ratten is described as an everyday person with normal tastes and the usual interests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Dosletofe's national animal is the Arctic Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shinto-Lutheranism.

Northern Dosletofe is ranked 295,755^th in the world and 85^th in Nordic Lands for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,313.44 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
