The Fabricated Reality of North Truman is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Truman Burbank with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.754 billion North Trumanians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seahaven Island. Income tax is unheard of.

The powerhouse North Trumanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,984 trillion Black Clouds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 203,481 Black Clouds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,248,889 per year while the poor average 14,510, a ratio of 86.1 to 1.

Exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the land is famous throughout the region for its rampant lawlessness, and sex changes are routinely performed at North Truman's hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. North Truman's national animal is the Boogie, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Freedom.

North Truman is ranked 180,120th in the world and 1st in Truman for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 40.49 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
