The Federation of United Northern Territories is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.455 billion United Northern Territoriesians 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient United Northern Territoriesian economy, worth 174 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 120,112 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Northern Territories's national animal is the swallow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

United Northern Territories is ranked 272,193^rd in the world and 972^nd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.38 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
