The Federation of The North American Republics is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Sir Edwin Gregorious IV with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.152 billion North Americans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Fredericksburg. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The North American Republicsian economy, worth 63.3 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,967 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned, prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, Sir Edwin Gregorious IV has just been declared ruler of The North American Republics in an international press conference, and corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The North American Republics's national animal is the Double-headed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The North American Republics is ranked 197,912^th in the world and 7,891^st in Balder for Largest Black Market, with 21.8 billion Standard Monetary Units.
