The Commonwealth of Northwest Isles is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Prince Justin with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.976 billion Northwest Islanders enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oakland. The average income tax rate is 15.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Northwest Islesian economy, worth 518 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 130,360 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Sushi is sold on the black market, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Prince Justin's bedroom, and CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options. Crime is relatively low. Northwest Isles's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Northwest Isles is ranked 74,895^th in the world and 356^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,339.54 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
