The Kingdom of Northlands is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by King Luke Charles Thomas Franz Gerald I with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 6.081 billion Northlandsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hiritange. The average income tax rate is 7.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Northlandsian economy, worth 430 trillion Northins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 70,761 Northins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and polychromatic seas of leaves blanket the ground while sewers and drain pipes are clogged by their detritus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Northlands's national animal is the Parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Northlands is ranked 23,049^th in the world and 15^th in Liberal Democratic Union for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,299.45 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
