The State of Points North is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.728 billion Northmen live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 7.3%.

The powerhouse Points Northian economy, worth 950 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is 29,942 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, voting is voluntary, and Points North has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Points North's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Points North is ranked 53,363^rd in the world and 158^th in State for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,543.84 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
