The Liberal Neo-Socialism of Gran-Nordeste is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.089 billion Nordesteans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maceió. The average income tax rate is 59.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Nordestean economy, worth 101 trillion Reais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 93,624 Reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, Gran-Nordeste's fine wines are renowned throughout the region, and crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens. Crime is totally unknown. Gran-Nordeste's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gran-Nordeste is ranked 6,475^th in the world and 130^th in the West Pacific for Most Pacifist, with 144.19 cheeks turned per day.
