  The Northern States’ Rights Tradition by Thomas J. DiLorenzo
The truth is that the Northern states were every bit as active in threatening secession and nullification as the citizens of the Southern states were in the half century preceding the war.
The Governor of this State is under a high and solemn obligation, "to maintain the lawful rights and privileges thereof, as a sovereign, free and independent State," as he is "to support the Constitution of the United States," and the obligation to support the latter imposes an additional obligation to support the former.
Northern states were also instrumental in assisting President Andrew Jackson in his defeat of the Bank of the United States (BUS).

 Political Divisions of Africa. States of Northern Africa.
Tunis is the smallest of the Barbary states.
The natural features of the country are varied; the northern portion consisting of a burning sterile wilderness, while the southern, lying within the range of the tropical rains, and watered by the Abyssinian affluents of the Nile, exhibits vegetation in its tropical glory, forests of arborescent grasses, timber-trees, and parasitical plants largely clothing the country.
The southern half of the country is within the influence of the tropical rains, the northern partakes the character of the almost rainless Sahara; and while the latter is generally very salubrious, the former is a land of dangerous fevers, particularly in the plains subject to inundations.

 Northern Mariana Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The economy of the Northern Marina Islands depends primarily on tourism, especially, from Japan, and the rapidly growing garment manufacturing sector.
The Northern Marina Islands had successfully exploited its position of being in a free trade area with the United States, while at the same time not being subject to the same labor laws as it.
Because of volcanic threat, the northern islands have been largely evacuated, with just six people remaining on Alamagan island (Census of 2000), and with the Mayor of the Northern Islands Municipality residing in "exile" on Saipan.

 The Southern Independence Party Of Texas
More directly put, Lincoln and his northern mercantilist, banking and industrial supporters were determined to establish dictatorial control not only upon the south, but upon the whole of what remained of the nation formed by our forefathers originally as a republic restricted by the Constitution and by the States.
These fake State governments then applied for re-entry into the united States and their Statehood status was granted by Washington, of course, but with harsh reconstruction provisions allowing economic plunder of the southland which is still happening in more subtle ways today.
But, State governments and contracts of Statehood involuntarily forced upon a people are void as a matter of common law as well as international law and non-binding upon them should they decide to shake off the chains of servitude and captivity and vote to Re-Affirm their Statehood in the Confederate States of America.

 No. 98-384: U.S. v. Northern States Power Co. - Petition
Many of the utilities, as well as States and state regulatory commissions, had in the meantime filed petitions for a writ of mandamus alleging that DOE had failed to comply with the court of appeals' mandate in Indiana Michigan.
Indeed, the writ of mandamus issued by the court in Northern States is on its face a directive to DOE regarding the interpretation and administration of the Standard Contract.
The States and remaining utilities contended that the equitable adjustment of fees was not an appropriate remedy since under the statutory requirement of full cost recovery, DOE would be required simply to redistribute the burden of the program's costs from some utilities to other utilities.

A total of four staunchly Muslim states in Northern Nigeria are now blocking the immunisation programme, casting doubt over a plan to eradicate the disease worldwide by the end of the year.
The four states are acting on fears spread by some preachers and Muslim activists in Nigeria’s mainly Islamic north that polio immunisation may be part of a Western plot to reduce the country's Muslim population.
However, Kaduna State, which was one of three Nigerian states to suspend polio vaccination in October last year, said on Sunday it was lifting the ban and would resume immunising children against the disease.

State governments on Mexico’s northern border will implement cooperative strategies in order to confront criminal activities triggered by narcotics trafficking in the area, and to improve conditions of public safety.

Efforts will be made so that state borders in the north will not be a limitation to the pursuit of criminals, and the possibility exists of carrying out joint operations on the border, as well as in Sinaloa and Durango, he said.

 Robert W. Speel: Changing Patterns of Voting in the Northern United States
Using a number of states as case studies, especially in New England, Changing Patterns of Voting in the Northern United States explains why large shifts in voter partisan preferences have occurred since the 1950s in that section of the country.
In these Northern states, citizens of New England Yankee or Norwegian ancestry and voters with higher educational levels have abandoned historical preferences for the national Republican party to vote in increasing percentages for Democratic presidential candidates in almost every election since 1952.
In 1980, 1992, and 1996, many of these Northern areas demonstrated significant support for the independent presidential candidacies of John Anderson and Ross Perot, who represented a more moderate brand of Republicanism than the party’s official candidates in those years.
