The Fallen empire of North Geran is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Pricep XV with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, anti-smoking policies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.982 billion North Geranians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orphion. The average income tax rate is 22.3%.

The frighteningly efficient North Geranese economy, worth 632 trillion Gands 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, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 212,267 Gands, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, singing in public is only allowed if you are singing the praise of the Motherland, Pricep XV often plays real life games of Tower Defense against hordes of angry villagers, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Geran's national animal is the Vulture, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Anathemanism.

North Geran is ranked 14,951^st in the world and 678^th in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 356.38 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
