The Republic of Northeastern Cascadia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Jefferson Chase with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.857 billion Cascadians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spokane. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Northeastern Cascadian economy, worth 569 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,672 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The roads are virtually falling apart, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is totally unknown. Northeastern Cascadia's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Northeastern Cascadia is ranked 7,213^th in the world and 5^th in United States of America for Safest, scoring 125.8 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
