The Confederation of North Gralend is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Wendell Wallace with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 19.306 billion Northerners hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Haven City. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient North Gralendian economy, worth a remarkable 4,049 trillion Northern Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 209,772 Northern Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, one-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, and producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Gralend's national animal is the Northern Gold Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Gralich Catharism.

North Gralend is ranked 2,597^th in the world and 1^st in Suns Reach for Lowest Crime Rates, with 135.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
