The Kingdom of North Island is a huge, devout nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 557 million 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Equality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 100%. A very small private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Island's national animal is the Raven, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Icelandic Krona.
