The Dominion of Northshore is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning bovina population. The hard-nosed population of 2.885 billion Northshoreans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 21.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Northshorean economy, worth 121 trillion aurums a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,065 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northshore's national animal is the bovina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Northshore is ranked 185,283^rd in the world and 3^rd in Glasgow for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
