The Principality of North Giathio is a large, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 175 million North Giathians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The very strong North Giathian economy, worth 12.5 trillion gnyoplas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 71,285 gnyoplas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 237,263 per year while the poor average 15,959, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

The death penalty has been reintroduced, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. North Giathio's national animal is the Raven, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

North Giathio is ranked 113,116^th in the world and 574^th in the Outback for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,948.69 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
