The Free Land of The North West Democratic State is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 208 million citizens of the NWDS are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 56.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish NWDS economy, worth 6.16 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 29,607 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
