The Republic of NWP-1 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 13.063 billion NWP-1ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.7%.
The NWP-1ian economy, worth 656 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 50,249 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.
Reports of arson have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, high school principals regularly send armed truancy patrols to drag problem students to school, and all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers. Crime is moderate. NWP-1's national animal is the swan.
NWP-1 is ranked 213,941st in the world and 1st in Northwest Passage for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -2.34 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
