The Kingdom of North Ptolem is a mid-sized, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The democratic population of 86 million North Ptolemians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 33.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The North Ptolemian economy, worth 3.37 trillion Ptolems a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,196 Ptolems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, surveillance cameras are banned, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and news headlines suggest that Leader has a sideline in guinea pig pimping. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Ptolem's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

North Ptolem is ranked 37,618^th in the world and 16^th in Imperatus for Most Secular, with 29.05 Atheism Rate.
