The North Polean Confederation of Norse Inuit Union is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.33 billion North Poleans 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, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse North Polean economy, worth 389 trillion Ravenites a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 73,060 Ravenites, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, in a fit of passion Leader has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, and gun ownership is compulsory. Crime is totally unknown. Norse Inuit Union's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Norse Inuit Union is ranked 177,068^th in the world and 20^th in Arctic for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 64.94 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
