The Republic of Nora Nora is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 6 million Nora Norans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Nora Noran economy, worth 41.7 billion dollars 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 6,950 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nora Nora's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nora Nora is ranked 286,863^rd in the world and 703^rd in Horizon for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 282.53 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
