The Federal Republic of Norklevo is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Elger Saurmon with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.551 billion Norklevians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cloaveton. The average income tax rate is 33.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Norklevian economy, worth a remarkable 1,052 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 231,273 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, Cloaveton spends billions upgrading public transport, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, and home renovation shows are increasingly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Norklevo's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Norklevo is ranked 18,056^th in the world and 573^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,390.31 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
