Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Kingdom of Njordsund is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leif Haraldsson with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 833 million Njordsundians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lindholm. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Njordsundian economy, worth 56.1 trillion gulls a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,313 gulls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, vaccinations are mandatory, and rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Njordsund's national animal is the reindeer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Njordsund is ranked 7,823^rd in the world and 149^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 124.67 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
