The Republic of North Bami is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9 million North Bamians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 33.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The North Bamian economy, worth 315 billion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,067 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. North Bami's national animal is the dove.

North Bami is ranked 146,206^th in the world and 156^th in Pacifism for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 445.58 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
