The State of ND is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working population of 20.121 billion North Dakotans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia Heights. The average income tax rate is 27.4%.

The thriving NDian economy, worth 564 trillion betales a year, is highly specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 28,065 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, and a stitch in time could see you serving nine. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. ND's national animal is the deer.

ND is ranked 174,084^th in the world and 331^st in Omega Prime for Highest Food Quality, scoring 13.66 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
