The Kingdom of Northern Knights is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.521 billion 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.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 6%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Tourism and Arms Manufacturing.

Crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, armed police units patrol the roads late at night, airport security is provided by private companies, and the government funds large training centres to turn Beavers into functioning members of society. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem. Northern Knights's national animal is the Beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Loonie.

Northern Knights is ranked 803rd in Europeia and 83,568th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 89 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
