The Republic of Northampton County is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 160 million Northampton Countyians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 13.4%.

The strong Northampton Countyian economy, worth 9.61 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 60,078 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northampton County's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Northampton County is ranked 231,674^th in the world and 9^th in Counties for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 254.79 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
