The Protectorate of Northern swuzerland is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 946 million Northern swuzerlandians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Northern swuzerlandian economy, worth 46.1 trillion Swiss Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 48,704 Swiss Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Leader has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, too many developers spoil the codebase, and on hunt days the unpleasant peasant runs in lieu of the pheasant. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Northern swuzerland's national animal is the Nearsqyart, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Northern swuzerland is ranked 282,483^rd in the world and 14^th in Warzone Africa for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -10.05 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
