The Republic of Nothern Fores is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Henrik Odon with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.134 billion Nothern Foresians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neeluia. The average income tax rate is 80.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Nothern Foresian economy, worth 381 trillion ₦ Zorlexas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 178,722 ₦ Zorlexas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, the legislature has come out as bicameral, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and nerdy teenagers have to prove that they're made of the same stuff as their grandparents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nothern Fores's national animal is the Snow Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Nothern Fores is ranked 130,767th in the world and 51st in Covenant Shores for Most Extreme, scoring 20.51 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
