The North Polean Confederation of Norse Inuit Union is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.337 billion North Poleans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse North Polean economy, worth 389 trillion Ravenites a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 73,060 Ravenites, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, in a fit of passion Leader has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, and gun ownership is compulsory. Crime is totally unknown. Norse Inuit Union's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Norse Inuit Union is ranked 14,766^th in the world and 11^th in Arctic for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,247.95 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
