The Kingdom of Norfland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Ligeia XIII with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.019 billion Norfmen 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, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Usher. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Norfish economy, worth 148 trillion Urodas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 146,156 Urodas, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and new treatments are rejected if they cannot be explained using only one-syllable words. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norfland's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Church of the Undying.

Norfland is ranked 66,365th in the world and 716th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,301.76 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
