The Northern State of Moon Island is a state located at the northern part of Moon Island, Shops Island. It has an area of 4510 km2 (or 1741.3 sq mi.). As of 2012, it is inhabited with approximately 239,920 penguins, making the penguin population density of the state 53.20 penguin / km2.

History[edit]
The first known permanent settlement of Moon Island is in a place called Mid-moon (Typhoonish: Mŏt Mŏn, Chinese:滅月) located some 100km south of the current capital, Dancing Penguin City, within Northern State. Although technically the state with the first settlement, it was not the place where Moon Island large settlements were developed. It was not until 2012, when Dps04 announced the moving of capital from Moon Island City to Dancing Penguin City when large cities started to be developed in the state.
Structures on the state include Dancing Penguin City avenues and Typhoon Mall, all concentrated in Dancing Penguin City. However, quite a large proportion of penguins who reside on Northern State in fact does not live in the City itself. Population is scatted pretty evenly among the rest of the state, accounting for the relatively low population of penguins living in the city and the low urban population.
Governance[edit]
According to convention, the mayor of Dancing Penguin City rules over the whole state as well as the city itself. In fact, there are no state governer of Northern State.
Currently, the mayor of Dancing Penguin city is Dps04.
