The Northern Kingdom of Sansa-First of her Name is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sansa of House Stark with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, otherworldly petting zoo, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 4.899 billion Northeners hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of King's Landing. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Northener economy, worth a remarkable 2,562 trillion Gold Dragons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 523,010 Gold Dragons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.
Wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, saying "don't do anything that Sansa of House Stark wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, and the "walk of shame" is now a daily public spectacle. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Sansa-First of her Name's national animal is the Direwolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Old Gods.
Sansa-First of her Name is ranked 291,607th in the world and 99th in Goddess White for Lowest Crime Rates, with 17.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
