The Holy Republic of North Bratislava is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Old Saxophone Joe with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 21.184 billion North Bratislavans 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dinkytown. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient North Bratislavan economy, worth a remarkable 4,535 trillion pounds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 214,116 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, unpopular scientists are shunned by name, and ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. North Bratislava's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bratislavan Orthodoxy.

North Bratislava is ranked 331,458^th in the world and 4,736^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -28.16 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
