The Sky Lord of Telemark Bataljon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rune Wenneberg with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 17.861 billion Norweagians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 21.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Norweagian economy, worth a remarkable 1,084 trillion Kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,695 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation, and builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Telemark Bataljon's national animal is the Takin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Telemark Bataljon is ranked 91,681^st in the world and 3^rd in Ayra Cat Army for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,238.56 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
