The Protectorate of Northpaddock Inn is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 27.245 billion Northpaddock Innians 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 17.0%.

The strong Northpaddock Innian economy, worth a remarkable 1,229 trillion wheats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 45,128 wheats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, divorce is illegal, and the government is reining in public spending. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Northpaddock Inn's national animal is the horse.

Northpaddock Inn is ranked 161,772^nd in the world and 57^th in Rushmore for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 361.19 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
