Population6.455 billion

The Republic of Norwifn is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.455 billion Norwifnians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 80.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Norwifnian economy, worth 896 trillion Yen a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 138,895 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, aeroplane cockpits no longer have altimeters or airspeed indicators, social care for the elderly consists of a self help leaflet and a kick on the backside, and the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norwifn's national animal is the Scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Norwifn is ranked 102,658th in the world and 1,284th in Two for Most Stationary, with 414.06541555352 days.
