The Holy Empire of North historia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Moofoose with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.642 billion North historians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stirland. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient North historian economy, worth 475 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 130,461 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, news headlines usually include p-values, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, and garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North historia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

North historia is ranked 12,309^th in the world and 322^nd in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 11,567.95 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
