The Dictatorship of Northern Brotherhood of Steel is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Maxson with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 17.018 billion Brotherhood are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anchorage. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Brotherhood economy, worth a remarkable 2,641 trillion Caps 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 impressive 155,237 Caps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The prevalence of circular logic frequently renders parliamentary observers dizzy, children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, war vets look after war animals, and students and teachers are regularly stopped and searched for symbols of religious affiliation before class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Brotherhood of Steel's national animal is the Radstag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Northern Brotherhood of Steel is ranked 29,905th in the world and 1,709th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 80 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
