The Commonwealth of The Northwest Arctic is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its national health service, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.423 billion Northwest Arcticians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kikiktagruk. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Northwest Arctician economy, worth 585 trillion 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 major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 108,000 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Halberds are common 18th birthday presents, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying, and it's all white elephants on parade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Northwest Arctic's national animal is the Caribou, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Northwest Arctic is ranked 15,448^th in the world and 163^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Poor Incomes, with 102,985.77 Standard Monetary Units.
