The Nya-tionalist Nya-thUwUmbria of Nationalist Northumbria is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Alvin Ashleigh with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.673 billion Nationalist Northumbrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bamburgh. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Nationalist Northumbrian economy, worth 707 trillion Northumbrian pennies a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,600 Northumbrian pennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Bamburgh as a backdrop, children entertain themselves by throwing rocks through the windows of world-class museums, and tensions between the young and old have risen to record levels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nationalist Northumbria's national animal is the none, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Northumbrian Christianity.

Nationalist Northumbria is ranked 62,541^st in the world and 2^nd in Thneedville for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,695.76 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
