The Northern Lordships and Isles of The Imperium Collectives is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sovereign Valedaens Holdan di Garheim with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 22.017 billion Collectivists are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, although Law & Order, Defense, and Environment are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mariahøst. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Collectivist economy, worth a remarkable 9,283 trillion 𝒦ronemarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 421,640 𝒦ronemarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Royal mothers are increasingly sidelined as news crews strain for interviews and photoshoots with "the hot nanny", if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Collectivist satellites can detect it, a passport is literally priceless, and the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Imperium Collectives's national animal is the Gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Northern Reformed.

The Imperium Collectives is ranked 15th in the world and 1st in This Corner Of the World for Lowest Crime Rates, with 403.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
