The Carib-Atlantic Union of North of Americas is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Kwami Simmons with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.007 billion North Americans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Denver. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Carib-Mericans economy, worth a remarkable 4,966 trillion Cauna Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 275,828 Cauna Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, awkward tourists are offered the 'unique experience' of rodeo clown, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. North of Americas's national animal is the Whale Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

North of Americas is ranked 288,504^th in the world and 1,401^st in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.42 kickbacks per hour.
