The Commonwealth of North Sion is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 508 million North Sionians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salem. The average income tax rate is 54.2%.

The thriving North Sionian economy, worth 36.8 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,479 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, and streaming video is considered to be a myth by most citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Sion's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

North Sion is ranked 170,177^th in the world and 147^th in Covenant Shores for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 474.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
