The Republic of Northeastern Cascadia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Jefferson Chase with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.9 billion Cascadians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spokane. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Northeastern Cascadian economy, worth 567 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,411 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Eminent domain has been abolished, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Northeastern Cascadian weed picker are way up, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights. Crime is totally unknown. Northeastern Cascadia's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Northeastern Cascadia is ranked 276,228^th in the world and 683^rd in United States of America for Most Patriotic, with 0.6 flags saluted per person per day.
