The Commonwealth of North Eastern Peoples is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.402 billion North Eastern Peopleses 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.2%.

The frighteningly efficient North Eastern Peoplesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,797 trillion Densaner Penances a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 191,176 Densaner Penances, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Leader claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', when it comes to real men it takes one to know one, students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Eastern Peoples's national animal is the Lynx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

North Eastern Peoples is ranked 282,555^th in the world and 52^nd in The Card Mine for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 21.8 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
