The Northern Lands of Einswenn is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sir Gustav Ranvald with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 25.156 billion Einseters enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kronheim. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Einset economy, worth a remarkable 7,311 trillion einskrones a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 290,642 einskrones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The aims of top-secret Einset science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, and people often feel unbalanced by their daily commute. Crime is totally unknown. Einswenn's national animal is the Sacred White Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Einserheim.

Einswenn is ranked 167,731^st in the world and 136^th in Forest for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,295.11 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
