The Commonwealth of Nor Isles is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 730 million Nor Islesians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seawall. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Nor Islesian economy, worth 53.0 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,589 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
All guns must be registered, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, only lightning has a chance of striking Leader twice, and political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nor Isles's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Nor Isles is ranked 138,453rd in the world and 187th in Bozarkia for Most Extreme, scoring 20 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
