The Guychat Fiefdom of NOrTh pAcIfiC spY is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Gertrude with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.468 billion NOrTh pAcIfiC spieses are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pacific Spying HQ. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient NOrTh pAcIfiC spYian economy, worth a remarkable 9,812 trillion Cookies 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 Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 479,417 Cookies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

International collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through NOrTh pAcIfiC spY, owning a tractor is widely regarded as an essential prerequisite to most government positions, a government program is underway to revitalize NOrTh pAcIfiC spY's beaches, and historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NOrTh pAcIfiC spY's national animal is the Cookie Monster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Gestdom.

NOrTh pAcIfiC spY is ranked 308,108th in the world and 6,083rd in the Rejected Realms for Nudest, with 7.5 cheeks per square mile.
