The Queen's State of Fort Simpson is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.84 billion Fort Simpsonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The very strong Fort Simpsonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,114 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 40,017 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Education and welfare spending are on the rise, none has been named as Fort Simpson's national religion, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Fort Simpson in an international press conference, and Fort Simpson has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Fort Simpson's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is none.

Fort Simpson is ranked 211,187^th in the world and 8^th in Northwest Territories for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -1.67 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
