The Most Serene Republic of North Southumberland is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Rulerman The Wise with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 25.255 billion North Southers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Southumberland City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient North Southish economy, worth a remarkable 6,737 trillion Floogles a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 266,792 Floogles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', out-of-work basketball players loom over the unemployment line, the government is forced to pander to the will of every fruitcake politician, and Jennifer Government is a bestseller. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Southumberland's national animal is the Wombat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

North Southumberland is ranked 1,372nd in the world and 19th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 158.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
