The Managed Democracy of The Greenlandic North is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Guðdómleg Hátign Jorja I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.66 billion Northern Gronlandics are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rnesspo. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Gronlandics economy, worth a remarkable 3,902 trillion Northern Greenlandic Coins 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 Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 450,605 Northern Greenlandic Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The urinary fragrance of seedier establishments is thankfully hidden by the smell of stale smoke, commemoration of the Great Saint Helene War costs almost as much as the war itself, the World Managed Democracy Games have been won again by The Greenlandic North as no other country cares enough to compete, and the media seems excessively interested in what Guðdómleg Hátign Jorja I is wearing this season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Greenlandic North's national animal is the Lemming, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Sedna.

The Greenlandic North is ranked 276,152^nd in the world and 69^th in Saint Helene for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 7,209.69 Standard Monetary Units.
