The Peoples Socialist Republic of North Amherst is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by General Secretary Lucas Weston with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 18.527 billion North Amherstinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

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 4,953 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 267,363 Gons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

North Amherstian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, helium balloons lift the nation's spacecraft towards the heavens, school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, and both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade. 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 202,446^th in the world and 306^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 816.42 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
