The Federation of The Northeastern States is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its lack of airports, rampant corporate plagiarism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 286 million Northeastern Statesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Northeastern Statesian economy, worth 3.84 trillion Yorks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 13,429 Yorks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness, and they say that Northeastern Statesians made a dessert and called it peace. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Northeastern States's national animal is the Bunny, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Northeastern States is ranked 138,058th in the world and 328th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,375.34 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
