The Empire of Haakonsson is a totalitarian controlled sovereign nation located in North America, occupying parts of the prior regions of New England, Quebec, Ontario, and the maritime provinces. The ruler is

The Empire of Haakonsson is a fledgling, orderly nation, notable for its frequent mass executions, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6 million Haakonssonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the racial purity of the nation. The national religion is Christianity, while Judaism, Islam, and other religions are strictly forbidden and punishable by death and slavery.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.4%.

The strong Haakonssonian economy, worth 285 billion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Blue Cheese Export industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 47,654 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, tuba players are paid to quietly whisper into their instruments, the government is financing an extremely costly war against malaria, and children are expected to carve their own toys. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Haakonsson's national animal is the wolf.

Haakonsson is ranked 68,197th in the world and 5th in Confederation of Sovereign NS States for Highest Crime Rates, with 3.38 Crimes Per Hour.

Geography
