The Guychat Fiefdom of NOrTh pAcIfiC spY is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Gertrude with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, state-planned economy, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.302 billion NOrTh pAcIfiC spieses are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pacific Spying HQ. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient NOrTh pAcIfiC spYian economy, worth an astonishing 11,750 trillion Cookies 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 483,527 Cookies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Fat taxes on red meat has left the beef industry extra lean, thorough preparation of street foods defeats the purpose of really fast food, weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers, and it is an honour for assistant regional managers to be buried alongside their bosses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NOrTh pAcIfiC spY's national animal is the Cookie Monster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Gestdom.

NOrTh pAcIfiC spY is ranked 310,180th in the world and 2,465th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cultured, scoring -48 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
