The United Hipster Nation of The Pacific Northwest is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by a coffee hating beaver tailed black cat with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.058 billion Pacific Northwesterners 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 Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seattle. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Pacific Northwestern economy, worth 655 trillion Cascadian Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,602 Cascadian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, parents dread their examinations more than their children, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime is totally unknown. The Pacific Northwest's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Pacific Northwest is ranked 274,906^th in the world and 324^th in Refugia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 7,595.3 Standard Monetary Units.
