The Republic of North Saria is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 172 million North Sarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant North Sarian economy, worth 1.74 trillion Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 10,138 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Saria's national animal is the eagle.

North Saria is ranked 248,540^th in the world and 12^th in The New Beltics for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 163.31 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
