The Cascadian Confederation of NorPac Liberation Front is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 536 million Cascadians 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, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spokane. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Cascadian economy, worth 43.2 trillion coffee cups 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 80,517 coffee cups, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, Leader's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them, and the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Spokane. Crime is totally unknown. NorPac Liberation Front's national animal is the weaponized moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NorPac Liberation Front is ranked 19,495^th in the world and 2^nd in The Caffeinated Confederation for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,044.62 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
