The Federal Republic of Norfania is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Mathilda Valentine with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 1.027 billion Norfanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oldenberg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.3%.
The powerhouse Norfanian economy, worth 111 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 108,678 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.
One-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norfania's national animal is the Crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Humanism.
Norfania is ranked 175,058th in the world and 990th in Europe for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 47.67 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
