The Republic of North Densaner is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.464 billion North Densanerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient North Densanerian economy, worth a remarkable 3,433 trillion Densaner Penances a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Retail, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 237,397 Densaner Penances, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A town hall is called each time a kid asks how far away the sun is, the government is plagued with uncertainty, politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', and political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Densaner's national animal is the Lynx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

North Densaner is ranked 10,581st in the world and 12th in The Card Mine for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,293.53 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
