The Utter Disaster of United Republic of Northern America is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Tsar Hiroshima Bomba of Nagasaki with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.668 billion Democratic Republicans 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuketown. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient United Republic of Northern American economy, worth 238 trillion Standard Units a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,259 Standard Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, and conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Republic of Northern America's national animal is the Nine headed grizzly bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nationalism.

United Republic of Northern America is ranked 261,355^th in the world and 12,267^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -215.24 on the Hayek Index.
