The Kingdom of Norfland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Ligeia XIII with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. 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 prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Usher. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Norfish economy, worth 150 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 147,779 Urodas, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

New treatments are rejected if they cannot be explained using only one-syllable words, historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, exports of live cows arrive pre-roasted, and it is often said that only Queen Ligeia XIII could bring down Dàguó. 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 97,116th in the world and 371st in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,950.59 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
