The Republic of SamniumNorthland

“Winter Is Coming”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of SamniumNorthland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 21.68 billion SamniumNorthlandians 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deepwood Motte. The average income tax rate is 59.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient SamniumNorthlandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,582 trillion Sesterzoes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,242 Sesterzoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public. Crime is totally unknown. SamniumNorthland's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

SamniumNorthland is ranked 2,621^st in the world and 4^th in ITALIA for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 738.77 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
