The Principality of Northie is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Northerner with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.866 billion Northies are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Northiean economy, worth a remarkable 5,424 trillion Northerners 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 273,071 Northerners, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.
Recent events in Dàguó have been classified 'for Northerner's eyes only', vehicular homicide by Northiean ambassadors is a leading cause of death throughout the world's capital cities, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northie's national animal is the Northman, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Northern Runes.
Northie is ranked 346,005th in the world and 6,040th in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -28.23 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
