The Union of Socialist Republics of Northern Overture is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Secretary of State Sovetsky Soyuz with an iron fist, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, otherworldly petting zoo, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.597 billion Overtureans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moskva. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Overturean economy, worth 598 trillion Noneuropean Kronees 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 78,716 Noneuropean Kronees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, and nobody ever questions the unquestioned rule that questions must always be asked. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Overture's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Northern Overture is ranked 217,164^th in the world and 32^nd in Noneuropean Union for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 26,055.09 Standard Monetary Units.
