The Formation of Northwestern Front is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 2.177 billion Northwestern Frontians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.3%.

The Northwestern Frontian economy, worth 112 trillion Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 51,779 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, and the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northwestern Front's national animal is the Red Army, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Northwestern Front is ranked 260,001^st in the world and 15^th in Wikipedia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 47.28 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
