The Colony of Northern 42 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums and ritual sacrifices. The hard-working population of 9.638 billion Northern 42ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Administration, Education, and Defense are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 26.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Northern 42ian economy, worth 481 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 49,949 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Illegal moonshine operations get taken out with laser-guided airstrikes, a degree in Leader Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, private law firms are unheard of, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern 42's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Northern 42 is ranked 121,520th in the world and 1st in 0527 redbreasted merganser for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
