“Deiscirt Thuaidhtalamh go Brách”

The Eastern Westlands of Sorthern Northland is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Rhys O'Donnell with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate population of 6.322 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beningrad. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The Sorthern Northland Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sorthern Northland's national animal is the Donkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the SN Ruble.

Sorthern Northland is ranked 2nd in the region and 667th in the world for Best Weather.
