The Most Serene Republic of North Southumberland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Rulerman The Wise with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 30.414 billion North Southers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Southumberland City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient North Southish economy, worth a remarkable 8,571 trillion Floogles a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 281,840 Floogles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

North Southumberland is sometimes referred to as the global janitor, there's nothing more North Southish than revanchism, Blackacrean security services are wondering why Rulerman The Wise is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9, and all animals are equal but some are more equal than others. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Southumberland's national animal is the Wombat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

North Southumberland is ranked 307,933rd in the world and 386th in 10000 Islands for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -40.82 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
