The Federation of Northern Socialist States is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Wilhelm von Potestas with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 16.928 billion NSS Citizens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Potestas. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient NSS Citizenry economy, worth a remarkable 7,185 trillion Federation Credits 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 424,499 Federation Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Socialist States's national animal is the Swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kostromaism.
Northern Socialist States is ranked 410th in the world and 9th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,247.62 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
