The Republic of North Diora is a very large, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 191 million North Diorans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 29.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient North Dioran economy, worth 6.61 trillion Dioran Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,605 Dioran Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Group hugs break out during floor votes, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury, and vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make North Dioran mussels the biggest in The East Pacific. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Diora's national animal is the Bear.

North Diora is ranked 172,121^st in the world and 3,145^th in The East Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 68.6 billion Standard Monetary Units.
