The Federal kingdom of North Gerveric is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Commissary-General Huatare Timoti with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.046 billion North Gervericians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wolfsten. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming North Gerverician economy, worth 247 trillion Energy credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,907 Energy credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, no one born in North Gerveric can fix a leaky faucet, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum. Crime is totally unknown. North Gerveric's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

North Gerveric is ranked 40,779^th in the world and 4^th in Pax Americana for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 96.11 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
