The Northern Republic of Norte-Constancio is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Presidente José Marcos de Oliveira with an even hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning Veado-da-Tundra population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.446 billion Norte-Constancioans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Larama. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.

The very strong Norte-Constancioan economy, worth 188 trillion dolars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 54,584 dolars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 185,129 per year while the poor average 11,880, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

Kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", Norte-Constancio has designated Larama as its capital city, the populace has developed a mortal fear of the woods, and Presidente José Marcos de Oliveira has just been declared ruler of Norte-Constancio in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Norte-Constancio's national animal is the Veado-da-Tundra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Norte-Constancio is ranked 166,744^th in the world and 78^th in Portugal for Largest Populations, with 3.45 billion capita.
