The Clanocratic Federation of Bjornifjordaland is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by High Jorl Jenssonr ef Bjornklana with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.592 billion Bjornifjordalanders are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Björnvílk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Bjornifjordalandic economy, worth 327 trillion Krons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,192 Krons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 479,674 per year while the poor average 23,020, a ratio of 20.8 to 1.

Nobody likes bad boys any more, billions of Krons are spent to take high-quality photos of the Fjord Bear Nebula, the recycled air in planes is nauseating, and many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bjornifjordaland's national animal is the Fjord Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Ésatru.

Bjornifjordaland is ranked 245,782nd in the world and 1,531st in the Plains of Perdition for Fattest Citizens, with 7.58 Obesity Rate.
