The United Socialist States of North The Con Sither is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 448 million Queers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Queer economy, worth 16.0 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Basket Weaving. Average income is 35,787 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, the election for Leader's office's janitor is heating up, leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, and goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North The Con Sither's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

North The Con Sither is ranked 307,224^th in the world and 4^th in Low Earth Orbit for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
