The Federation of Nordrune is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 750 million Nords are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blacksun. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.9%.
The powerhouse Nordrunean economy, worth 87.4 trillion Runes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,477 Runes, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.
Requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', and playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordrune's national animal is the Arctic fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Nordrune is ranked 45,241st in the world and 991st in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,735.36 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
