OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Republic of Nordwald is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Bundeskanzler Lutz Ostwalder with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.844 billion Nordwaldians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Südwaldstadt. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Nordwaldian economy, worth a remarkable 1,390 trillion Walders a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 203,171 Walders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordwald's national animal is the Baummarder, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nordwald is ranked 305,194th in the world and 5,973rd in The North Pacific for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 35.58 Workforce Participation Rate.
