The Federation of Northern Zorbrasnka is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Harvard with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.557 billion Northern Zorbrasnkans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcadia. The average income tax rate is 40.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Zorbrasnkan economy, worth 464 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 130,564 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, snap elections are called over every minor impasse, and a common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Zorbrasnka's national animal is the gray wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Northern Zorbrasnka is ranked 12,538^th in the world and 598^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,385.07 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
