The Nuclear Wasteland of The Greenlandic North is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Jorja I with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.477 billion Northern Greenlandic's are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rnesspo. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Greenlandic economy, worth a remarkable 1,672 trillion Ducats 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. 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 an amazing 373,598 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A vast monorail network carries people all over the country, sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Greenlandic North's national animal is the Lemming, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Greenlandic North is ranked 266,526^th in the world and 406^th in Wintreath for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -408.78 on the Hayek Index.
