The State of Great Northern is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 33.482 billion Great Northernians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.
The strong Great Northernian economy, worth a remarkable 1,141 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 34,081 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.
The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the government is avowedly atheist, Great Northern has designated Columbia Heights as its capital city, and the Governor has just been declared ruler of Great Northern in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Great Northern's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Great Northern is ranked 254,845th in the world and 7th in Idaho for Lowest Crime Rates, with 49.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
