The Kingdom of -The North- is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lord Stark with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.428 billion Northerners 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 Spirituality, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winterfell. The average income tax rate is 30.0%.

The Northerner economy, worth 731 trillion Gold Dragons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,646 Gold Dragons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, the government is cracking down on subversive groups, one complaint of -The North-'s new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium, and future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -The North-'s national animal is the Direwolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Old Gods.

-The North- is ranked 92,860^th in the world and 1,813^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.79 law-abiding acts per hour.
