History
The Northwind Federation always depended on trading with other Kingdoms when it's population began to grow. Being the only Kingdom able to grow Ice Stones, it grew into a wealthy country importing goods from all of Phoenie.

When The Great War started they were quickly forced to surrender, due to economic embargos set by Reshiram's rule. Since then, the country hasn't regained it's lost wealth.

Royal House
The Northwind Federeation's noble house consists of a King, a Queen and five children. After The Great War they lost everything. One of their sons, Raphael, has been sold to restore some of the wealth of their family.

Food
Since agriculture isn't an option due to the cold temperatures, the food in the Northwind Federation consists mostly of meat and fish.

Most vegetables are imported from other kingdoms, just like bread, rice and pasta and lots of potted vegetables. Some cities build huge, greenhouses powered by electricity to be able to grow fresh vegetables and fruit all around the year. Most of these are located in Wall of Ice.

Cities and Villages
The Northwind Federation consists mostly of small villages with a variety of names. The liveliest part is its capital:

Wall of Ice
Wall of Ice is the most densly populated place in the Northwind Federation. While the Royal Family lost all their wealth and status the merchants of Wall of Ice managed to keep themselves safe - taking good care of Wall of Ice to not have it be stricken by poverty.

The castle of the Royal Family is also located here. The family still lives inside the small building, running into debt to keep the building in a good condition.
