The Peoples Socialist Republic of North Amherst is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Secretary Lucas Weston with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 18.348 billion North Amherstinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minas Tirith. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient North Amherstian economy, worth a remarkable 4,902 trillion Gons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 267,208 Gons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, builders across North Amherst are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Amherst's national animal is the Gorilla, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism.

North Amherst is ranked 2,305^th in the world and 45^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 11,502.26 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
