The Combined Syndicates of Northern Whitefall is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by General Ryan Connell with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 6.554 billion Whitelanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tara. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Whitelander economy, worth 898 trillion Labor Vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 137,126 Labor Vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, General Ryan Connell's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, and flowering peace lilies are the best defence against Northern Whitefall's military. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Whitefall's national animal is the Whiteland Stag Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Insular Mythology.

Northern Whitefall is ranked 9,555^th in the world and 466^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,635.47 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
