The Russian Spinoff of Norkeand is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Dru Norkdude III with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.8 billion Norkish are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nerp. The average income tax rate is 69.4%.

The strong Norken economy, worth 350 trillion Norkeps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 72,972 Norkeps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Ersatz chicken has left the nation's citizens with a bad taste in their mouths, government-funded marriage counseling is showing very limited success, pizzerias must now display shrines to the Pizza God, and when people ask what the difference is between politicians and lawyers they are referred to document c15(iv) section 14.1 subsection 3.2 of the Jan 2015 political category definition guidance codes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norkeand's national animal is the Norken Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Norkslam.

Norkeand is ranked 279,801st in the world and 3,517th in the West Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.14 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
