OverviewFactbookDispatchesPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Free Land of Pacific Northwest Territories is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Dale Cooper with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 5.086 billion Pacific Northwesteners enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Portlandia. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient PNW economy, worth 746 trillion Pine Coneses a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,702 Pine Coneses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, it's never "just a game" with PNW sports fans, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pacific Northwest Territories's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular Witchcraft.

Pacific Northwest Territories is ranked 3,097th in the world and 4th in Philosophers for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 18,118.15 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
