The Commonwealth of North Pamplemousse is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.453 billion North Pamplemousseans 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient North Pamplemoussean economy, worth 194 trillion Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 133,901 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bizarre-looking creatures called 'Bobcatdogs' dominate wildlife preserves, broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, mechanics are often exhausted by their work, and old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Pamplemousse's national animal is the Bobcat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

North Pamplemousse is ranked 241,846^th in the world and 3,014^th in the South Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.22 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
