The Kingdom of Norcandy is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The King with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.673 billion Norcans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alfsund. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Norcan economy, worth a remarkable 1,089 trillion Norcan Kroners a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,945 Norcan Kroners, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The King's Twitcher account is typically used to share Reindeer memes rather than government policy, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, property subletting is going underground, and election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norcandy's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Norcandy.

Norcandy is ranked 272,468^th in the world and 31^st in Kylaris for Most Primitive, scoring -257.88 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
