The United Republic of North Finslisia is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Chairman Buc-ee with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.53 billion Finslisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Environment, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bu-ceeville. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Finslisian economy, worth a remarkable 2,042 trillion Buc-ee's Coupons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 193,998 Buc-ee's Coupons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, the government airlifts sacrificial lambs, hand-to-hand combat experience is udderly essential for all dairy ranchers, and the Police Surveillance Unit's motto is "Gotta Catch 'Em All". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Finslisia's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

North Finslisia is ranked 12,059^th in the world and 49^th in Fifth Empire for Highest Average Incomes, with 193,998.15 Standard Monetary Units.
